DoveRunner, a leading provider of mobile application security and content protection solutions, has been recognized as a Sample Vendor in the 2025 Gartner Hype Cycle for Application Security. This recognition underscores the company's commitment to safeguarding mobile applications against evolving cyber threats, including tampering, reverse engineering, fraud, and intellectual property theft [1].

The Gartner Hype Cycle for Application Security identifies DoveRunner's contributions within the application shielding category, an in-app protection technology designed to prevent and detect attacks on software running in untrusted environments, particularly mobile devices. According to Gartner, application shielding is crucial when apps convey or store sensitive data or enable payments, helping protect against cloning, data leakage, fraud, and other forms of abuse [1].

DoveRunner's platform offers several key features to enhance mobile application security. These include no-code integration capabilities that allow security protections to be implemented without adding complexity to the development process. Additionally, the platform provides Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) for real-time defense against source code tampering, debugging, and network sniffing. Compatibility with third-party development and monitoring tools, such as Jenkins, TeamCity, and Crashlytics, enables seamless adoption within existing workflows [1].

James Ahn, CEO at DoveRunner, commented on the recognition, "Mobile applications are often the first interaction between a brand and its customers, but they’re also an increasingly attractive target for attackers. Our mission is to help organizations across industries, like financial services, healthcare, and entertainment, deliver secure, seamless mobile experiences so that security becomes a driver for innovation rather than a stoppage. Being recognized by Gartner in this year’s Hype Cycle validates the work we’re doing to stay ahead of emerging threats" [1].

The recognition from Gartner highlights DoveRunner's role in the growing importance of application shielding in protecting sensitive data and ensuring compliance. As mobile applications become more integral to business operations, the need for robust security measures continues to rise. DoveRunner's platform aims to address these challenges by embedding security directly into mobile applications, protecting sensitive personal information, meeting compliance requirements, and ensuring a safe user experience.
