Appthority acquired by Symantec

Appthority was a cybersecurity company founded in 2011, focused on Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) to protect enterprise data and employee privacy from mobile threats. Based in San Francisco, the company developed a Mobile Threat Protection (MTP) solution that offered visibility and control over mobile risks, helping security teams maintain productivity and safeguard corporate data.

The core offerings included the MTP platform, which detected and mitigated threats from mobile devices, applications, and networks, and enterprise mobile security analytics that provided insights and risk assessments for proactive mobile security management. Appthority primarily served Fortune 1000 companies and large enterprises needing robust mobile security solutions.

In 2017, Appthority was acquired by Symantec Corporation, integrating its mobile threat detection technology into Symantec’s Endpoint Protection Mobile platform. This acquisition enhanced Symantec’s capabilities in securing multiple endpoints and operating systems, further strengthening its mobile security offerings.
