With the launch of two new security products and our new Security Testing team, we remain dedicated to searching for and finding vulnerabilities in application platforms, cloud providers, maritime computer systems, cloud based Active Directories and common authentication protocols such as OAuth and SAML, providing a valuable service based on insight rather than incident and ensuring our clients' peace of mind."
