Surojit Dasgupta joins Appdome as Director, South Asia Region
By MYBRANDBOOK
Surojit Dasgupta has joined mobile app security company Appdome as Director for South Asia Region. He will be heading the expansion in the BFSI segment. He will help BFSI brands in the region to better protect their customers against mobile threats, fraud and malware and compliance with regulatory guidelines. The joining is effective from today, 17th February.
On the appointment, Don Tan, VP of Sales APJ said, “India and South Asia are the fastest growing digital economy in the world. Consumers globally are depending on mobile apps to give them greater financial transactional freedom. Appdome’s Global Consumer Expectations on Mobile App Security survey clearly showed that consumers demand more protection in their mobile app experiences. And while brands have invested heavily in automating building and releasing new versions of their apps, mobile app security today is not automated and as a result takes a back seat to new features. The voice of the consumer that emerged from the survey is very clear; Consumers value security as high as new features. Appdome is the only cyber defense automation platform that connects to the DevOps systems used by app makers and makes it fast and easy to build security into mobile apps, directly in their CI/CD Pipeline. Appdome has seen increasing interest from Indian banks, fintech, and other brands building superapps with transaction functionality. The time was right for Appdome to invest into the Indian market and add Surojit to our growing team in Asia.”
Surojit holds a bachelor’s degree in Commerce from University of Calcutta and did his MBA in Sales and Marketing from Asian Institute of Management & Technology.
Prior to Appdome, Surojit held the position of Country Manager at Lookout. He also served in various leadership positions at Forescout, Crowdstrike, FireEye, CitiXsys and McAfee.
On his association with Appdome Surojit said, “I am super excited to join Appdome as we start our South Asia Sales operation. Appdome is uniquely positioned to deliver the industry's first and patented "no code" cyber defense automation platform. Appdome is the only solution that gives cyber team visibility management and control over the security features in the dev process. As such, Appdome resolves any tension that exists between the dev and cyber teams and allows brands to rapidly release new apps to production that fully protect their customers from cyber threats, fraud and malware. With Appdome, Indian FSBI and other brands that drive the digital economy can completely move away from all the challenges of integrating different security SDKs to code a security layer in their mobile apps.”
He further added, “My key priority is to protect the digital economy that is allowing Indians great financial freedom and independence. I look forward to helping all brands in South Asia protect their apps and the people who depend on them. To achieve these goals it is critical that we partner with the Cyber and DevOps channel ecosystem so that we can broaden our reach as wide as possible and make it easy for app makers to rapidly secure their apps, protect their mobile business and give their customers the confidence to securely transact in their mobile apps.”
Appdome’s mission is to protect every mobile app in the world and the people who use mobile apps in their lives and at work. Appdome provides the mobile industry a patented data-driven Cyber Defense Automation platform, powered by patented artificial-intelligence based, coding technology, Threat-Events for threat-aware UI/UX control, ThreatScope Mobile XDR, to deliver 300+ Certified Secure mobile app security, anti-malware, anti-fraud, anti-cheat, MiTM attacks prevention, code obfuscation and other protections in Android & iOS apps, right inside mobile DevOps and CI/CD pipeline.
