About Nowsecure

NowSecure provides mobile app security and AI governance. It sells to enterprise teams that build, secure, and govern mobile apps, including CISOs, security leaders, privacy and compliance teams, AppSec and DevSecOps engineers, and those managing third-party app risk. The company helps organisations find hidden AI, risky SDKs, vulnerabilities, and data flows in mobile apps. The NowSecure platform analyses compiled mobile app binaries on real devices. It uses binary analysis, real-device runtime, AI component detection, and data-flow tracing to produce a Dynamic SBOM. This approach differs from source code scanning, SBOM, or SCA tools by observing what actually ships and how it behaves at runtime. NowSecure also maintains open-source tools such as Frida and radare2 and contributes to OWASP MAS standards.
