About NowSecure
NowSecure helps enterprises secure and govern AI risk inside mobile apps. As AI enters apps through generated code, agentic workflows, embedded SDKs, third-party models and opaque dependencies, security and risk teams need proof of what shipped apps actually contain and what data they move. NowSecure analyzes mobile app binaries and runtime behavior on real devices to surface hidden AI, map data flows, validate third-party components and produce evidence for remediation, compliance and governance. The result is mobile AI visibility that generic device, cloud, application security and AI governance tools cannot fully provide.
