Chandigarh, Oct 14 – TAC InfoSec Ltd, a leading global cybersecurity company specializing in vulnerability management, announced its partnership with Google on Monday as an authorized lab for Mobile Apps Security Assessment (MASA) under the App Defense Alliance (ADA). This collaboration allows TAC Security to help developers and organizations meet Google Play Store’s stringent mobile application security standards by rigorously testing apps for vulnerabilities and ensuring top-tier security compliance.
Previously, TAC Security was the only recommended and preferred assessor for Google’s Cloud Application Security Assessment (CASA) program. Trishneet Arora, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of TAC Security, expressed excitement over this new milestone, stating, “Joining the exclusive club of Google-approved MASA authorized labs presents a tremendous opportunity to accelerate client growth, given the vast potential of over 10,000 developers on the Play Store.”
Arora further added, “This achievement, along with recent global acquisitions, aligns with our vision to become the largest vulnerability management firm in the world by 2026.”
Google Play currently hosts nearly 3.5 million Android apps. Through the ADA’s MASA program, developers can undergo an independent security review that awards a security badge to compliant apps on the Play Store, helping to build trust and increase downloads by reassuring users of best security practices.
In September 2024, TAC Security successfully completed the acquisition of CyberSandia, a U.S.-based cybersecurity firm contracted to provide IT services for the State of New Mexico. The company also appointed Hector Balderas to its Board of Directors in the US and expanded its global reach by acquiring TAC Cyber Security Consultancy L.L.C., a wholly-owned subsidiary in the UAE, to cater to growing cybersecurity demands in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the broader Middle East.
