Our take
Security is key in the online world, especially for companies that sell software as a service (SaaS). AppOmni's security management platform is designed to help SaaS companies protect their software from phishing attacks, malware, and other malicious threats. It can discover risks that may potentially harm businesses’ services, protect sensitive data from malicious hands, and even monitor and fix any issues that are found.
AppOmni’s customers include large enterprises and tech names such as Dropbox, Ping and Accenture, as well as large Fortune 100 financial and healthcare companies. Collectively, it now secures apps covering 78 million users and 230 million exposed data records, and more than 9 billion monthly events.
Although AppOmni has made a name for itself, it has some notable competitors, such as Insight VM and Amazon Guard Duty. The company is continuing both its international growth and building out the platform to remain on top of the competition.
