“Adversaries that attack companies and high net worth entities operate outside the law and elude consequences for their actions, creating an uneven playing field for defenders,” said Max Kelly, co-founder and CEO of [redacted]. “Just playing defense is a losing strategy.

They need a partner that provides broader context and the capabilities to pursue and disrupt adversaries — within the rule of law — to protect their businesses. We founded [redacted] to level the playing field for security-conscious organizations.”
