Company Name: TAGES
Expertise offered:
Our expertise focus on "attaching" security to ready-to-deploy software instances prior to their deployment. Our solution hardens, monitors or enforces execution control on executables, without source level change or provisions on the platforms. This concept is the best fit for cloud continuum which fosters the dynamic placement of payloads, where they better fit (latency, costs). Our security is no friction to payload translation.
