Appknox On-Premise Security Deployments: Tackling Mobile App Security for Governmental Institutes Globally

As per recent studies, the government cloud market stood at USD 22.86 billion in 2020 and is projected to hit the USD 59.74 billion mark by 2026. The predicted CAGR is 17.4% over the forecast period, and this has spurred a systematic opening of government data around the globe.

While the government data grows steadily, heaps of it still lays in the file rooms as offline documents and might take years for digitization.

However, this is not the only challenge when it comes to the management, storage, export, processing, and migration of government data.

Security, coherency, and robustness emerge as some of the major forces, especially after the SolarWinds fiasco of the US Government.

The on-premise security deployment solutions, emerge as a reliable and smart solution for all the government institutes globally.

Appknox offers highly streamlined, secure, and intuitive on-premise security deployments for all types and all scales of government institutions to secure their mobile applications.

Fostering Agility and Efficiency With on-Premise Security Deployment

Cloud infrastructure offers benefits, like, capital, resources, staffing requirements, and scalability, but security becomes a hurdle! The entire data confidentiality sentiment becomes sterner for government institutes, where a minor compromise signals an avalanche of diplomatic changes.

Hence, On-premise security solutions, like Appknox emerge as the perfect security cover!

Appknox offers highly reliable, robust, and smart security solutions with access to all CI-CD tools, real-time DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing), and the marketplace supporting all major integrations with developer and project management tools for mobile application security testing.

The govt offices work on many different schemes, policies and regulations that require accessing multiple databases at once. For example, the Indian UID or Aadhar Card, which is connected with tens of other databases. If data accessing and processing is confidential, the staff can work without concerns and unauthorized access.

The govt institutions can operate without the internet, and lower down their monthly internet costs as well. The improved security is a given and the staff has better and more stringent control over the server hardware.

This also ensures higher work efficiency as well.

Governmental Institutes and Their Preference Towards on-Premise Security Deployments

For the diverse security and data confidentiality needs of government institutions, Appknox offers highly customizable security solutions that can align themselves with the scale and modification requirements.

Further, it also accommodates all the emerging needs for compliances, and regulations pertaining to data localization and digitalization in Govt. settings. For example, the Indian government has increased the pace of digitalization, and the introduction of the GI-Cloud "Meghraj", gave a more unified and tangible direction to all the offices in this regard.

Credible and robust on-premise security deployment solutions from Appknox can reduce the burdens of the IT staff, by tackling security compliances as well.

Apart from offering 100% control of institutional privacy, it offers smart and intuitive functionalities that enable better management of regulations and compliances etc.

The Journey so Far and the Road Ahead

• Penetration Testing(PT) via Remediation Call and Manual Security Testing

Appknox also offers real-time DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) for mobile apps, which is one of the leading offerings in the security sector and is also an ioXT Alliance member, an authority of security in IoT environments. It is on its way to being an authorized lab for the ioXt Alliance, which adds another star to its shoulder.

The majority of the governmental institutes looking for Vulnerability Assessments at Appknox come from the US, Middle East, APAC, and European Regions. While many security firms struggle while catering to on-premise deployments outside their regions, Appknox accomplishes this at a rapid pace without errors!
