Rave Mobile Safety Acquires AppArmor, Extends Market Reach in Safety and Incident Response Solutions

Rave Mobile Safety, the maker of the Rave panic button app used by 10,000 K–12 schools across the nation, today announced the acquisition of AppArmor, a major provider of custom-branded mobile safety and emergency notification apps serving hundreds of higher ed, public safety, corporate, and healthcare organizations.

The acquisition will merge the “scalability and robustness of the Rave platform with agile mobile app customization through AppArmor to deliver best in class technology for critical communication and collaboration,” a news release said.

“AppArmor shares our mission to disrupt and innovate critical communications and incident collaboration and has established a robust customer base that speaks to their ability to deliver technology that makes a difference,” said Rave CEO Todd Piett. “With the addition of AppArmor, the combined company can now offer our clients an even broader suite of market-leading solutions to enhance safety and response for higher education institutions, public safety agencies and private enterprises.”
