Mission & Vision
Our mission is to bring the cutting edge tools and techniques of AppSec tech leaders to all
AppSec practitioners and programs. We see a future where all the increasingly complex
threats don't have a chance to gain a hold over anyone's products, systems, or users.

History of the Firm

True Positives was founded by 3 leading minds in application security, bringing insider knowledge of large AppSec tool makers and major tech giants to help firms fill the gap between modern dynamic applications and the outdated automation tools being sold.
New partners were brought on, adding expertise and services in AppSec strategy, and new partnerships were formed with external firms, bringing managed AppSec and manual testing services to
our customers.
