Want to get paid to protect your open source software? Try ForAllSecures new fuzz testing product
Summary
ForAllSecure, a cybersecurity company formed in 2012 out of patented technology developed at Carnegie Mellon University, announced last week that it launched a free version of its flagship product Mayhem in addition to a new $2 million incentive program around it to make open source software more secure. The decision to provide this service directly to software developers is also reflective of the current individual basis for the cybersecurity industry, which has yet to see tech companies of all kinds adopt a consistent in-house approach to protection against attacks. While the team has an office in Oakland through the Pittsburgh Innovation District’s Avenu coworking space, only about a third of the company’s 30 employees are currently based here. After a stint in California for a year with the startup, Brumley found that the highly competitive marketplace for engineering talent made it hard to build a stable team. “If you do, you’ll have to solve this problem of going and finding those people who have done startups — which are primarily in Silicon Valley and bringing them in.” With the pandemic, however, a distributed workforce and remote hiring operations has made that challenge much easier.
