HBGary is in the risk mitigation market specifically focusing on the problem of corporate espionage and computer crime. Everyday, IP, financial data, trade secrets and assets of companies are taken by employees, competitors, countries and funded adversaries.

The development of a global economy has fueled the huge expansion of information technology. Massively interconnected systems, including the global Internet, deliver information to more people faster. Because of globalization and competition, there is an increased need to have access to critical information first.

Unauthorized access to information is made possible by faulty software and lack of security controls. As the global economy develops, so does the demand for competitive intelligence. Today, malicious backdoors, trojans, botnets, and stealth rootkits (collectively known as malware) have unlimited access to our networks. Employees are “recruited” based upon their access to information to steal for money or a cause. It has become easier than ever to get access to classified, controlled or proprietary information.

Intellectual property such as product designs, marketing plans, customer lists, and government intelligence is being stolen daily. It is estimated that 70% of the average enterprises value is held in its information.
The current FBI estimate is that over $100 billion is being lost annually due to theft of intellectual property.

HBGary was founded in 2003 to help solve the problem. We have developed advanced software security technologies to actively assess information risks in deployed applications, stealthily monitor information systems for external and internal threats, and perform post-exploitation forensics with dynamic analysis of malware and live running software. In today’s uncertain world, HBGary helps you assess the risks and gives solutions to help gain additional information in order to make a sound decision.
