BOSTON - s4story -- Verdane (https://verdane.com/), the European specialist growth investment firm, is entering a partnership with Guardsquare (https://www.guardsquare.com/), a leader in mobile application security. The partnership follows previous investment from Battery Ventures (https://www.battery.com/) and addresses the growing mobile app security threats by expanding access to GuardSquare's critical mobile application security for global businesses of all sizes. It also combines Guardsquare's deep technical expertise with Verdane's growth strategy through M&A and continued organic growth.

Mobile applications are increasingly becoming the primary way users interact with businesses. Yet, mobile app security needs have historically remained underserved, especially as threat actors target mobile apps at an accelerated pace. Verdane's investment enables Guardsquare to expand its reach in providing the most comprehensive approach to mobile application security on the market, delivering the highest level of protection with ease. ​​Earlier this year, Cyber Defense Magazine recognized Guardsquare as the market leader in Mobile App Security and honored the company with its prestigious Mobile App Security Award (https://www.guardsquare.com/press-release/guardsquare-wins-market-leader-in-mobile-app-security).
