The power of Denim Group’s ThreadFix, and recently acquired Neuralys Attack Surface Management platform, signifies Coalfire’s commitment to delivering a risk-based and holistic threat and vulnerability management solution for discovery, rationalization, prioritization, and tracking of all vulnerabilities across an enterprise.
“Together, our combined teams represent one of the largest, most advanced, and industry-recognized cloud and application security solution providers,” said John Dickson, Principal, Denim Group. “We are committed to continuing to invest in and optimize the ThreadFix platform while supporting and expanding our ecosystem of partners. It’s even more meaningful for our teams to join forces the same year that both our companies celebrate 20 years of dedication to making technology more secure.”
