25 Years Helping Teams Produce Secure Software
We've worked with suppliers, developers, security organizations, government agencies, academia, and industry leaders to build some of the most mature application security programs in the world.
Our Mission
Why We Exist
Be the trusted resource — with OEM insider experience — that helps individuals, teams, companies, and organizations eliminate vulnerabilities and produce secure software — fast, reliably, and cost-effectively.
We exist to support anyone who needs a trusted advisor who knows how to navigate the vendor landscape, who can educate teams as they mature their programs, and who can collaborate with leaders throughout the lifecycle of their projects.
Our Differentiators
What Sets Us Apart
Our experience spans every corner of the application security ecosystem — from the teams writing code to the leaders setting policy.
25+ Years Proven Experience
We've worked across suppliers, developers, security organizations, government agencies, academia, and industry leaders — helping develop some of the most mature application security programs in the world.
OEM Insider Expertise
We've worked with and directly for the OEMs. We know the right questions to ask, how to do proper integration and licensing, and how to execute full software deployments. That insider knowledge now works for you.
Full Lifecycle Coverage
From planning and design through build, maintenance, and support — we cover application security across custom-built, open source, and enterprise software and solutions.
