Summary
Forever fighting the tide of malicious apps is an exhausting task, but companies like security– and privacy-testing solutions provider NowSecure are raising capital to develop load-lightening tools. ForgePoint has the right mix of veteran leadership, industry relationships, and successful track record across their security portfolio to support NowSecure.” NowSecure offers a range of solutions built on open source platforms (principally Frida, Radare, and Capstone) that run on-premises or in the cloud, plus expert professional penetration testing and managed services.
