Security auditing web apps? Here's your checklist for a successful pen test.

A penetration test is a sanctioned assault on your organization’s electronic assets and data. If the attack is repelled, you win. If the attack successfully breaches your defenses, technically you also win – as you’ve now got the chance to fix those vulnerabilities before a real attacker tries their luck.

Explaining Explainability

There is an important concept that runs through our product that I call explainability. I use the term a lot with our product and engineering teams to emphasize our data-first approach and our will to stand behind our data.

Experts warn that companies with fewer than 100 employees are especially vulnerable to a range of threats.
