Case Study: Global FMCG Company achieves 120% productivity increase with AppKnox

Transforming One of the Largest Global FMCG Company’s Mobile Security Automation Landscape to Increase Productivity by 120%

Global FMCG Company, a multinational consumer goods company with 400+ brands, 172,000 employees, and more than 300 mobile apps, struggled to keep up with security clearance requests across global teams. Its manual, post-build security testing process caused slow time-to-market, with app approvals taking 10–15 days and limited team bandwidth for managing multiple vendors and a growing app portfolio. AppKnox provided mobile app security testing and consulting to help automate and streamline this process.

Using AppKnox’s mobile security testing platform and Enterprise Application Security Testing (EAST) program, Global FMCG Company moved to a more agile, continuous security model. The company expanded from piloting 5 apps to scanning 130+ apps, with over 150 apps going live in under 6 months. AppKnox reduced app security clearance time from 10–15 days to just 2 days, saving nearly 87% of turnaround time, while also improving productivity and uncovering 100+ threats and vulnerabilities across 150 apps.
