Appdome will also integrate the recommendations provided by these partners into Appdome's cyber defense automation platform to deepen and accelerate mobile app defenses for all mobile brands.

As a community project, Appdome will also contribute cyber and threat research to the community as well as fund education, awareness, and other programs to benefit mutual customers and the broad cyber community defending mobile brands, businesses, and users.
