Appdome Wins 2025 Publisher’s Choice Global InfoSec Awards for AI/ML for Cyber Resilience, Fraud Prevention and Account Takeover Protection at #RSAC 2025

SAN FRANCISCO, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Appdome, the global leader in protecting mobile businesses, is proud to announce it has been selected Publisher’s Choice in Cyber Defense Magazine’s (CDM) 13th Annual Global Infosec Awards at RSAC 2025 in the following three categories:

AI/ML for Cyber ResilienceFraud PreventionAccount Takeover Protection

“The recognition across AI/ML for Cyber Resilience, Fraud Prevention, and Account Takeover Protection is a powerful validation of our vision,” said Tom Tovar, CEO and Co-Creator of Appdome. “Mobile businesses face a growing array of attacks, powered by automation, AI, and on-device fraud. We’re proud to provide AI-Native defenses that empower mobile businesses to maintain cyber resilience, preemptively manage and mitigate threats, and protect mobile accounts, transactions, and users quickly and easily.”

“Appdome embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats today, providing a cost-effective solution, and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next attack vector,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.

Appdome AI/ML for Cyber Resilience
Appdome’s AI-native Extended Threat Management (XTM) platform powers mobile cyber resilience, giving mobile businesses an automated way to continuously anticipate, withstand, recover from, and adapt to mobile threats and attacks. Based on industry and mobile app risk profile, the AI-Native platform automatically builds 10,000s of security, anti-fraud, anti-bot and other defenses directly into Android and iOS apps—eliminating manual work, human error, and delays. With continuous monitoring of over 6 billion threat events per week, Appdome provides early warning and benchmarks that allow organizations to preemptively address emerging threats before they impact users or business operations. In the event of an attack, Appdome delivers real-time visibility, fast incident detection and response, and the ability to resolve threats at the user level. When new attacks are discovered, Appdome automatically builds and redeploys new protections to ensure resilience with zero interruption to the mobile business. Appdome is the only vendor to ensure continuous cyber resiliency across the full mobile app lifecycle (anticipate, code, build, certify, measure, respond, support, and remediate).

Appdome Fraud Prevention
Appdome’s AI-Native Anti-Fraud platform delivers powerful, in-app fraud prevention to stop mobile threats before they impact users or revenue. By using AI to easily detect geo-fraud, social engineering scams, fake apps, fake users or gestures, and non-human events in Android and iOS apps, Appdome eliminates the wait time and blind spots of server-side anti-fraud tools. These defenses operate continuously on-device, identifying fraud in real time and preventing abuse at the point of attack. With Appdome, mobile businesses can stop fraud fast—without SDKs, user friction, or delays to their release cycles.

Appdome Account Takeover (ATO) Protection
Appdome’s AI-Native ATO Protection platform provides comprehensive defense against mobile account takeovers (ATOs), safeguarding apps from deepfakes, remote access trojans, trojan spyware, banking trojans, ATS malware, SIM swapping, memory attacks, and data exploits as well as overlay attacks, keylogging and other methods in Android and iOS apps. Appdome eliminates the need for SDKs or server-side integrations. With Appdome, mobile businesses can ensure robust, automated ATO prevention at scale without compromising app performance or user trust.

“Cyber Defense Magazine’s panel of global infosec experts understands what it takes to defend mobile businesses at scale,” said Jamie Bertasi, Chief Operating Officer at Appdome. “Winning in three critical categories reinforces the real-world results our customers achieve every day. From fighting AI with AI to stopping deepfakes to defeating mobile fraud and ATOs, our customers easily solve all their mobile defense needs on one platform with a single pane of glass every day.”

Appdome is demonstrating the full Appdome AI-Native Platform including Fraud Prevention, Account Takeover and AI/ML for Cyber Resilience solution at RSAC in San Francisco at booth South-0948.

MemeMax Officially Launches, Introducing a Meme-Native Perpetual Trading Infrastructure

Published

49 minutes ago

April 21, 2026

SEOUL, South Korea, SHANGHAI and NEW YORK, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MemeMax, a perpetual decentralized exchange (Perp DEX), has officially launched, positioning itself as a trading infrastructure purpose-built for the meme coin market.

As the memecoin sector has grown into a multi-billion-dollar asset class, the lack of derivatives infrastructure tailored to its unique dynamics has become increasingly evident. MemeMax enters the market aiming to address this gap by offering a perpetual trading environment designed specifically for meme-driven assets.

Major meme assets such as DOGE, PEPE, and WIF have historically exhibited extreme volatility driven by narrative cycles and community participation. However, existing trading platforms have struggled to fully accommodate these characteristics.

Why Traditional Perp DEX Models Fall Short for Meme Markets

Most existing perpetual DEXs were originally designed around assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), where liquidity depth, relatively stable volatility, and structured price discovery dominate market behavior.

Memecoins operate under a fundamentally different dynamic. Price movements are often driven less by fundamentals and more by narrative momentum, community coordination, and viral attention cycles. These assets tend to experience rapid expansions and collapses, often outpacing the assumptions embedded in traditional oracle and liquidation systems.

Despite this, most platforms continue to apply the same infrastructure across all asset classes—creating a structural mismatch when applied to meme markets. MemeMax takes a different approach:

rather than adapting meme assets to fit existing systems, it introduces a trading infrastructure designed specifically for meme-driven market behavior.

Trading the Full Meme Cycle

MemeMax is designed to enable users to trade across the entire lifecycle of a meme.

Shorting narrative breakdownsEntering early during revival phasesNavigating extreme volatility environments

To support this, the platform’s oracle and liquidation mechanisms are structured with high-volatility, lower-liquidity assets in mind, rather than being retrofitted from BTC-centric models

Redefining Trading as Participation

Another key distinction lies in how MemeMax reframes trading itself.

Rather than viewing trading as isolated execution, MemeMax positions it as continuous participation. On-chain user actions are interconnected within a broader system, where behavior contributes directly to the dynamics of the platform.

This reflects a broader shift in meme markets, where price formation is increasingly influenced not only by liquidity, but also by attention and user participation.

Max Points (MP): A Participation-Based Metric

At the core of the platform is Max Points (MP), a native utility system designed to quantify user engagement beyond simple trading volume.

MP is calculated based on multiple dimensions, including:

Profit and loss (P&L) experienceConsistency of platform activity

Note: Incorporating “time spent in positions” into the calculation is planned as an additional feature in a future update.

By incorporating these factors, MemeMax moves away from purely volume-driven incentive models and introduces a system that captures holistic user participation.

MP is expected to serve as a foundational metric across the ecosystem, with applications in reward distribution, seasonal events, and access to platform features. Early participation is designed to provide compounding advantages as the ecosystem evolves.

Max Points (MP): An Activity Reward System

As part of the platform’s reward system, Max Points (MP) exist to reward users for their activities. To encourage consistent user participation rather than just focusing on trading volume, MP operates on a flexible seasonal basis. Adapting to market trends, each season introduces new objectives and various forms of rewards, such as airdrops, recognizing the broader value of ecosystem participation beyond simple PnL.

Staking (Coming Soon)

The staking feature is currently in preparation and will be officially launched in the future as the platform continues to expand.

REKT Pack (In Preparation)

Additionally, it has been confirmed that a “REKT Pack” is currently in preparation. This feature aims to add a layer of entertainment by playfully sublimating user liquidations into meme culture, turning the unfortunate event of getting “rekt” into an engaging and fun experience for the community.

Seasonal Structure for Continuous Expansion

The platform operates on a continuously live trading environment, complemented by recurring seasonal events.

Each season introduces new participation mechanics and reward structures without resetting existing user data. This allows MemeMax to maintain continuity while continuously evolving alongside market dynamics.

Toward a Dedicated Financial Layer for Meme Markets

As memecoins continue to evolve into a distinct segment of the crypto market—driven by community behavior and narrative cycles—the need for specialized infrastructure has become more apparent.

MemeMax positions itself within this trend by treating memes not simply as speculative assets, but as behavior-driven market primitives, embedding these dynamics directly into its trading architecture.

According to the team, “MemeMax is not just another exchange listing meme assets—it is designed as the financial infrastructure that the meme ecosystem has been missing.”

Now Live and Closed Beta Successfully Concluded

A closed beta test was held on April 14 and successfully concluded with great interest from participants.

MemeMax is now live, with users able to access perpetual trading immediately. Participants can begin accumulating Max Points (MP) through on-chain activity and take part in upcoming seasonal events and reward programs. Early users may benefit from first-mover advantages in MP accumulation, positioning themselves favorably within the platform’s evolving incentive structure.
