Recap: Our Contributions to a More Secure Internet

Since our company's inception in 2015, we've sought to make the Internet more secure for everyone.

Up front, this required doing a lot of the sort of work that benefits society but most companies wouldn't invest time or money in:

  • Creating and maintaining open source libraries
  • Updating tutorials, sample code, and other developer documentation to promote security best practices
  • Designing new APIs and cryptographic protocols to replace error-prone standards
