Appsealing has been identified as a Sample Vendor in Gartner Hype Cycle for Application Security, 2022. Named in the application shielding category, Appsealing has a series of customer wins and product innovations to its credit. It develops robust app shielding solutions for applications. The report emphasizes technologies like policy-as-code, SaaS security posture management, SBOM, API security testing, and API threat protection among others.

It empowers developers and security teams to integrate scalable protection into their technology stack effortlessly with SaaS and on-premise offerings. Appsealing provides a real-time monitoring dashboard for developers to gain insights into attacks such as reverse engineering, tampering, and IP theft among others.
