Breach Security, Inc. is the leader in the web application firewall market with more than 10,000 deployments worldwide. Breach Security's web application firewalls protect web applications from attack and resolve organizational security issues including regulatory compliance, identity theft, information leakage and insecurely-coded web applications.

With the best attack detection for web application threats (Forrester, 2006) at the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry, the company's web application firewalls go beyond vulnerability scanning and secure coding initiatives by providing continuous, real-time security for web applications. Our products protect against targeted attacks and unintentional data leakage caused by flaws in application code, and provide "virtual patching" for known defects.

Breach Security purchased UK-based Thinkingstone and its ModSecurity open source web application software in September 2006. The company continues to develop and release updates to the open source ModSecurity software and serve the community. In January 2006, Breach Security introduced the affordable ModSecurity Pro™ M1000, the first commercial appliance featuring the ModSecurity web application firewall. The appliance customers benefit from Breach Security's experience with web application firewall installation, support and training.

Other products offered by Breach Security include WebDefend Enterprise and BreachView SSL. WebDefend Enterprise is a comprehensive web application firewall delivering automated, non-intrusive and effective security. It is the only web application firewall that deploys out-of-line and blocks 100% of detected attacks. BreachView SSL reduces the risks in encrypted SSL traffic by enabling existing intrusion detection / prevention systems to inspect every packet in an unencrypted form without terminating the session.

Breach Security web security solutions have been selected by Fortune 100 companies, enterprise customers and other organizations in a broad range of industries including finance, eCommerce, healthcare, government and education. Current customers include Prudential, SAP, and Scientific-Atlanta (a Cisco company).

Founded in 2004, Breach Security is a privately-held company based in Carlsbad, California with offices in the UK and Israel supporting development and sales efforts. Investors include Enterprise Partners Venture Capital, Evergreen Venture Partners, and Sid R. Bass Associates.

The company is led by a team of security software veterans with significant expertise in the complete product life cycle from strategic product planning to development to sales and marketing.
