description: >-
  Guardsquare is a mobile application security company that protects iOS and
  Android apps against reverse engineering, tampering, and runtime attacks
  through a multilayered defense platform. Its products include DexGuard
  (Android code hardening, polymorphic obfuscation, and RASP), iXGuard (the iOS
  equivalent for native and cross-platform apps and SDKs), AppSweep (mobile
  application security testing that finds vulnerabilities in app code and
  dependencies and integrates into CI/CD), ThreatCast (real-time post-release
  threat monitoring), and App Attestation (server-side runtime verification that
  only genuine apps can reach your APIs). Guardsquare also maintains the widely
  used open-source ProGuard family of Java bytecode shrinking, optimization, and
  obfuscation tooling. Protections cover Java, Kotlin, Swift, Objective-C, and
  cross-platform frameworks including React Native, Flutter, Unity, Cordova, and
  Ionic. The company was added to the API Evangelist network as a portfolio
  company of Battery Ventures and enriched from its public developer surface.
