Kryptowire mobile security and privacy solutions poised for accelerated growth as businesses and consumers increase mobile device usage
Kryptowire Inc., a mobile security and privacy solutions company, announced a growth investment led by US Venture Partners (USVP), with participation from Crosslink Capital. The new funding will be used to accelerate the adoption of intrusion-free mobile security into targeted verticals – including healthcare, financial services and education – and support further product development.
Mobile device and operating system (iOS and Android) use has increased rapidly in the pandemic era. As more exchanges, transactions, and communications go “mobile-first,” the impact of adverse security events grow in lockstep. Accordingly, businesses need AI cloud-based mobile security solutions that not only safeguard mobile devices from bad actors, but also provide intrusion-free protection to its end users. In 2021 alone, Kryptowire scanned over 3 billion lines of code across 70,000 applications, discovering over 500 vulnerabilities affecting approximately 2 billion devices.
