Vox Mobile Partners with Appthority to Ensure App Security While Enabling Enterprise Mobile Innovation

CLEVELAND, June 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Vox Mobile, the leading provider of complete enterprise mobility solutions, today announced that the company is now partnering with Appthority, the leader in enterprise mobile app risk management, to deliver groundbreaking capabilities that enable businesses to pursue mobile innovation effectively. The two companies have been working together since 2014, but they kicked off their official partnership on June 1.

Vox Mobile and Appthority collaborate to ensure that customers can close the "M-Gap" – the obstacle to mobile innovation that arises when companies encounter infrastructure issues that prevent them from creatively using mobile assets. To close the M-Gap, Vox Mobile provides a comprehensive Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) solution designed to ensure application success and deliver an excellent end-user experience.

Appthority's enterprise mobile app risk management service is an integral part of Vox Mobile's MaaS solution. While the recent GEMA Mobile Thought Leaders 2015 Strategy Study found that 64% of organizations are making mobile app management a top priority, the single biggest barrier to app innovation is the inability to understand or identify app security threats. Appthority's app risk management service addresses that obstacle.

Appthority's industry-leading app risk management service uses behavioral analysis to detect hidden app actions and enables enterprises to design and deploy custom rules to eliminate unwanted app behavior. Appthority, which scored the highest with 3.98 out of 5 in the Testing Mobile Applications: Front and Back End Use Case in the September 2014 Critical Capabilities for Application Security Testing report, is uniquely qualified to work with Vox Mobile, which was recently named a "Cool Vendor" in Gartner's Cool Vendors in Infrastructure Services, 2015 report.¹

"Working with an industry leader like Appthority is a natural fit," said Kris Snyder, CEO, Vox Mobile. "Enterprise mobility management is a relatively mature industry, but app security is increasingly a concern as customers deal with accelerating change and mobile devices evolve into the new desktop in an environment with heightened security concerns. By working with Appthority, Vox Mobile can ensure app security and provide an excellent end-user experience, which are the conditions enterprises require to close the M-Gap. With successful deployments in Europe and Australia, we feel it is the right time to bring Appthority to the US market."

"With over 600 customers and the highest NPS in the industry, we are excited and honored to be partnering with Vox Mobile", said Pam Brodt, VP of Sales, Appthority. "By automatically identifying risky behaviors in millions of mobile apps, large enterprises can deploy their mobile program knowing corporate data is safe."

Appthority and Vox Mobile will continue to deliver groundbreaking solutions to the marketplace, providing enterprise customers with the tools they need to innovate in a changing mobile environment.
