Our Company
To change the way applications are architected, operated, and secured across the entire DevSecOps lifecycle.
Runtime Security has been mischaracterized by technologies that are “point-in-time” scanning. True runtime must be always active. While we still need SAST and DAST, true runtime security can work alongside these technologies to provide you the confidence and assurance that your applications are truly visible. Think of these technologies as sprinters that tire out whereas we can keep running with you to go the distance!
To make the world a safer place by putting cyber criminals out of business.
