While its not in YC - there are a few SAAS type security startups aimed at SME's - such as https://intruder.io/ https://intruder.io/ who I am a very happy customer of. This to me looks to be high growth.
- GordonS 7y agoThere are dozens of these SaaS vulnerability scanning companies, with very little differentiation between them - they basically all run Nessus. It's difficult to see how they could make serious money, certainly not enough to interest VCs.
- andy_ppp 7y agoThe only way is to make them free and build a marketplace of accredited and vetted pen testers who you charge to be on the platform. Still how the hell you vet these people is a huge issue.
- alltakendamned 7y agoI think that's what bug bounty companies are doing by changing the model from paying for time spent to paying for (accepted) findings. Personally I don't think any serious pentester will spend considerable time in this model though. That said, I also think that one of the main challenges for buyers of pentest services these days is to evaluate the quality of a report or of the work done. Thoughts on how to improve that are most welcome.
- andy_ppp 7y agoMostly they are cookie cutter bullshit, right.
