About Security Innovation

Software connects the modern world.
Let’s make it secure.

Stop inching forward…

Everyone wants to solve cybersecurity software challenges and go beyond reactive (but necessary) stopgaps. However, most security providers just find problems and don’t identify root cause or provide prescriptive remediation guidance.

Software runs the modern world. For over 20 years, we’ve helped global clients  build, release and deploy secure software applications and get smarter about software security.  As a pioneer in the field,  we have a long history of firsts, including:

  • published the industry’s first public methodology for software security titled How to Break Software Security
  • original member of the Microsoft SDL  (security development lifecycle) pro partner network
  • created the first commercially available AppSec focused cyber range

We continually work to discover and overcome the latest security threats with our tech-focused Centers of Excellence and integrate this knowledge into every assessment we conduct.
