Endgame Systems provides offensive and defensive vulnerability research[4][5]. Endgame was started by executives from ISS[6][7] and CIA[5].

History

In October 2010, the company raised 29 million USD from Bessemer Ventures, Columbia Capital, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (KPCB), and TechOperators, for web-based malware detection services[8] such as iPTrust, a "cloud-based botnet and malware detection service that collects and distills security data into a reputation engine".[9]

In February 2011, the company announced partnerships with HP[10] and IBM to use their IP Reputation Intelligence service within HP's TippingPoint Digital Vaccine service and IBM's managed services offerings.

Controversy

In the Anonymous attack on HBGary Federal some of their emails were revealed. Vice President John M. Farrell wrote in 2010, "We've been very careful NOT to have public face on our company. Please ensure Palantir and your other partners understand we're purposefully trying to maintain a very low profile."[11] The HB Gary attack revealed controversial activities, including

  1. promises "to provide our customers with the highest quality offensive CNA/CNE (Computer Network Attack/Computer Network Exploitation) software in the world"[5]
  2. sale of zero-day vulnerabilities[12][5]
