Case Study: Department of Justice achieves fast, scalable mobile app vetting and continuous supply‑chain risk monitoring with NowSecure

NowSecure Platform, Academy and Workstation empower the agency to better manage mobile app risk

The U.S. Department of Justice, a large federal executive department with more than 115,000 employees and 40+ component organizations, needed to control mobile app risk to protect sensitive data, comply with federal mandates and avoid supply‑chain and privacy vulnerabilities. Manual testing couldn’t scale, leaving the agency without the visibility required to safely approve apps for government devices.

DOJ implemented NowSecure Platform, Workstation and Academy to automate static, dynamic, interactive and API testing, integrate with VMware AirWatch and Splunk, and enforce customized policies via a Mobile Risk Dashboard. The solution enabled app vetting in as little as 30 minutes, continuous monitoring and a whitelist approach, reduced workload for the mobile security team, improved reporting and third‑party component visibility, and is being expanded across the agency and offered to other federal groups.
