Entry last updated on January 14, 2026

Build38 is a cybersecurity scale-up from Munich, taking mobile app security to the next level.

Our platform combines advanced in-app self-protection mechanisms with AI-powered cloud threat intelligence – we call it Mobile XDR. CISOs and compliance teams gain real-time visibility and control, all without needing their own security team.

Leading companies like CaixaBank, Deutsche Telekom, and Verimi trust Build38 for faster app launches, simplified certifications, and zero-trust protection for the app, device, network, and backend. With Build38, mobile businesses remain secure, compliant, and future-proof – by design.
