The introduction of AI-driven security solutions aims to tackle the unique challenges posed by the Kingdom’s evolving digital economy.

To further enhance its compliance, Appknox provides local cloud and on-premises deployment options, addressing data residency concerns in the region.
“Launching our local instance in Saudi Arabia is a significant milestone in our journey to support businesses in building secure and compliant mobile ecosystems,” said Subho Halder, CEO of Appknox. “Our solutions not only meet SAMA regulations and regional data policies but also empower organizations to foster trust and drive innovation.
