Core Security Technologies was sub-contracted to do R+D for several security vendors in its early years. The company’s work for Secure Networks Inc. (SNI), a Canadian start-up that was developing a network vulnerability scanner named Ballista Network Auditing System, was largely responsible for the financial viability of Core. Core’s contract work for SNI, plus a couple of local security consulting contracts, were responsible for its financial viability in early days, says Ivan Arce. Arce: “For that I will always be thankful to the SNI team””]
