MUMBAI: Cybersecurity firm TAC Security has been appointed as the lead cyber security evaluator for the app Defense Alliance (ADA).
ADA was originally launched by Google in 2019 to combat malicious Android apps, but has now moved to the Joint Development Foundation (JDF), part of the Linux Foundation.
The expansion of ADA beyond Android highlights broader efforts to improve app security across various ecosystems.
TAC Security's selection as a cybersecurity assessment agency is an alliance that draws expertise from top cybersecurity companies to mitigate malware and ensure robust Mobile App Security Assessments (MASA) and Cloud App Security Assessments (CASA) reflects our efforts.
TAC Security joins ADA along with industry leaders such as ESET, Lookout, and Zimperium.
The addition of technology giants like Meta (formerly Facebook) and Microsoft to the ADA steering committee further emphasizes our collaborative efforts to advance app security standards and practices.
Trishneet Arora, Founder and CEO of TAC Security said: “We are proud to partner with Microsoft and Meta's App Defense Alliance to strengthen app security globally.” We are committed to creating a safer digital environment for our users.”
With TAC Security taking on the role of cyber security evaluator within the ADA, this partnership aims to strengthen resilience against emerging cyber threats and usher in a new era of collaborative cybersecurity efforts.
With this partnership, the company will open an ecosystem of over 10,000 potential customers.
TAC Security debuted on NSE Emerge on April 5, 2024 at a premium of 174% over asking price. Backed by stock market expert Vijay Kedia, the company raised $29.99 billion through an IPO and received bids of over $1 billion, resulting in a 422-fold oversubscription.
