Congratulations on the launch! FYI there is a pretty well-known YC startup named Vanta that helps companies manage various security compliance certifications.
Obviously, there are often different services that share the same name, but given that Vanta isn't an actual word in the English language, I would think this might be confusing for people.
As a data point of one, I just assumed Vanta (the company) was doing a Show HN today and was confused at first glance.

- karambahh 1y agoYeah, and especially as Vanta is adjacent... I think a rebranding is in order. Vanta (and the auditors they market) is a nice company I'm happy user of but I'm afraid they won't be too pleased with this. Your project is a pretty nice overview of what network level monitoring encompasses, I'd say it's more than a tool, it has obvious educational value. Would be sad to see it buried under naming issues.

- philipwhiuk 1y agoI'd argue they're both inspired by Vantablack.

- dang 1y agoYes, we changed it to try to ward off off-topic discussion about the name. The world is a big place. I bet this kid had no idea that the name was "taken"—either that or they assumed their project was so obviously different that no one would care. Little did they realize that internet discussions go into seizure about names under all too many conditions.
