Company Overview
We develop automated security testing technologies that discover, report and manage the elimination of security vulnerabilities in networks, programs, hardware and web applications.
Our three product lines align with the three major threat vectors faced by corporations and governments today.
- Networks are more complicated and are required to be more open - at the same time security requirements have increased. Our Network Vulnerability Assessment solution, AVDS, automates the process of identifying every network resource, testing each for weaknesses, reporting vulnerabilities discovered with the industry's lowest false positive rate and providing a correction management system that integrates easily with existing management tools.
- Software coding by teams, often outsourced, has become the norm and code quality control is threatened by tight budgets. Our code security testing fuzzer, beSTORM, utilizes 'smart fuzzing' and a unique method of learning proprietary protocols that have won it acclaim.
- Web applications open up networks and their data to employees, prospects, customers and, unfortunately, attackers. Our hosted, automated web site and web application security tester, WSSA, is unique in that it tests both web applications and the servers upon which they are installed, effectively providing two tools for the price and effort of running one. In addition, WSSA often requires just a URL or IP address to complete deep testing while leaving the site or application and its users undisturbed.
Our vulnerability research activities started with the launch in 1999 of the SecuriTeam security portal which has become one of the leading security web sites on the Internet. It receives over 2.0 million page views a year and updates thousands of registered users on its security alert list. The SecuriTeam.com security data clearing house is a vital part of the company's activities and an essential competitive advantage.
We utilized the knowledge accumulated through SecuriTeam and experience with the pre-existing and largely manual vulnerability assessment tools to develop AVDS. Security administrators complained that existing tools were difficult to configure, had high false positive rates and were themselves causing security concerns. AVDS was designed from the ground up to be easy to install and maintain, have the industry's lowest false positive rate and exceed the highest security requirements in its operation.
We are proud to have established a worldwide reputation in the field of security vulnerability testing. Our solutions are an essential component in the vulnerability management strategy of many of the world's largest organizations and security conscious governments.
Our customers are in finance, hi-tech, healthcare, aerospace, information security, telecom, higher education, e-commerce and government.
Our corporate headquarters are located in McLean, Virginia and we have offices in California and Israel. Our distributors and resellers can be found in North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Australia.
