Right now,\u00a0 webmasters are trying to figure out to protect sites from\u00a0Flame, the latest major malware to emerge<\/a>. 100% security doesn\u2019t exist, but part of the response to the virus might come from Bangalore, India, where\u00a0iVizSecurity<\/a>, a company specializing in penetration testing, is located.<\/p>\n

Penetration testing simulates attacks<\/strong>\u00a0to discover a system\u2019s weaknesses. iVizSecurity is doubly innovative, relying on complex technology and a simple business model. It\u2019s symbolizes a notable step forward for India, since it\u2019s built on A.I. (artificial intelligence), and not on a low-cost workforce.<\/p>\n

Enterprise clients \u2013 the service is enterprise-only \u2013 log-on to\u00a0\u00a0d\u2019iVizSecurity.com<\/a>\u00a0and request a scan. The cloud-based service then simulates \u201call possible attacks,\u201d says\u00a0 the company\u2019s president and founder, Bikash Barai. When the testing is complete, iVizSecurity tells sites what they need to change. It\u2019s \u201cethical hacking\u201d \u2014 the idea isn\u2019t to harm a site, but to help it stay secure.<\/p>\n

\u201cHack yourself before hackers do, and you\u2019ll know what they\u2019ll find,\u201d Barai says. \u201cYou can\u2019t be secure without testing. The challenge is making them good,\u201d he says. The process takes time, 5 to 6 days for even a slightly complex site, which is expensive.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinding a good hacker is hard. Keeping one is even harder<\/strong>,\u201d Barai says, comparing his solution to Henry Ford\u2019s. \u201cConsultant hackers are used to running tests like people built cars before the production line was invented,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

His innovation rests in the combination of artificial intelligence, human control, and the reduced costs of cloud computing. \u201cThis makes the service better, faster and cheaper,\u201d Barai says.<\/p>\n

Barai began research in 2006, and received his first investments in 2008. Today he has 300 major clients. The starting-point was a simple idea: \u201cAttackers only need to find one entry point. Someone defending them needs to imagine where all these points could be. It\u2019s exponentially complex,\u201d Barai says. Artificial Intelligence lets him envision all possible combinations. He showed off the efficacy of his software by attacking Symantec, Adobe, HP and other companies,\u00a0making their vulnerabilities public<\/a>\u00a0after alerting them.<\/p>\n

The technology is built on highly sophisticated algorithms. \u201cI wrote the base,\u201d Barai says. \u201cMy professor wrote algorithms that are so powerful that they\u2019re studied in the United States.\u201d Barai graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Kharagpur, one of the country\u2019s most prestigious schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndians have an advantage when brain power is needed,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s different when you need a heavy infrastructure. Particle physics doesn\u2019t exist without a cyclotron, but for computer science you only need to use your brain. We know how to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barai\u2019s technology has won innovation awards, but eventually he realized that despite this he didn\u2019t really have a business.<\/p>\n

This led to the miracle solution: subscription<\/strong>. Some of his clients do more than 2,000 tests per year. Western Union, for example, changes its money-transfer applications every week. Maintaining security while scaling for growth at this level is a massive headache \u2013 which makes iVisSecurity\u2019s unlimited testing for unlimited applications at a set price something that should ensure Barai\u2019s company nice growth.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
