A Peek Inside Fortra’s Cybersecurity Catalog, And Its Cyber Future
Summary
To start off, it’s worth noting that Fortra’s website shows 68 individual offerings across 19 brands in the infrastructure and data protection category, which includes everything from Agari (acquired in March 2022) to Vera (December 2020). “They work with people like GoDaddy to do account takedowns and stuff like that,” Huntington says, “and say ‘Hey, here’s this IP address that’s trying to be Bank of America and spoof their customers.’” The best defense is a good offense, somebody once said. To that end, penetration testing and “red teaming” software have taken on a greater importance as companies try to get an upper hand on increasingly aggressive and able cybercriminals. Also in this category is Cobalt Strike (acquired March 2020), which develops Outflank, another penetration tool surrounded by a suite of software for simulating red team hacks. Boldon James, meanwhile, is focused on detecting sensitive data and enforcing strict adherence to Military Message Handling Systems (MMHS) for secure communications.
