By integrating the services and recommendations provided by Bugcrowd, Appdome aims to streamline cybersecurity delivery for all mobile apps.

"Bugcrowd's multi-solution cybersecurity platform has always impressed me," said Tom Tovar, CEO of Appdome. "I love the agility and speed of delivery that Bugcrowd offers and that matches our ethos of getting cyber and anti-fraud defenses out in the mobile app economy fast."
