Cryptography is an increasingly critical area for security and many organisations are unknowingly exposed by vulnerable implementations of cryptography buried in their applications and infrastructure. Cryptosense has a unique capability to find crypto vulnerabilities and enable organisations to protect themselves against modern threats that increasingly target those vulnerabilities. It’s a pleasure to help the founders shape the product to have maximum impact.
