Rave Mobile Safety today announced the acquisition of AppArmor, a 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."

Founded in 2011, AppArmor's solutions encompass anonymous tipping, mass notification, incident reporting, worker safety and more. The company's newest product is a COVID-19 module used for vaccination validation.

The deal combines Rave's multi-modal mass notifications, crisis management solutions and deep integration into 911 systems and emergency-response processes with AppArmor's configurable app capabilities and content management. With the addition of AppArmor's higher education customer base to Rave's existing clientele across the U.S. and Canada, Rave will now protect 75% of North American higher ed organizations, according to the news release.
