Maintaining a comprehensive and up-to-date vulnerability database like the Secunia Advisory Database requires highly skilled specialists.
Not only do they need an understanding of corporate networks and how to secure them but they also need to know how operating systems are designed, how network protocols are constructed, and how encryption works. They need to know how our customers use their applications, how vendors develop software, and how security researchers go about discovering flaws as well as how IT-criminals and others create exploits, worms, and viruses to compromise IT-systems.
As part of continuously training and enhancing our Security Specialists' skills they are also conducting a large amount of research.
Our research team has uncovered significant vulnerabilities in applications such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, WinRAR, IBM Lotus Domino, IBM Lotus Notes, Adobe Document/Graphics Server, Novel NetMail, MDaemon, Spy Sweeper, Yahoo! Messenger, Sun Java Plug-in, StarOffice, OpenOffice, and many other applications.
Secunia is one of the most active vulnerability research companies in the world and is regularly recognised for our work by the media.
