Founded in Denver in 2015, the team specializes in offensive security: Penetration Testing, Red and Purple Teaming, Security Assessments, vCISO guidance and tailored training. With a focus on practical risk reduction and compliance readiness, SpyderSec helps companies understand their exposure, mature their security programs, and stay resilient in a constantly evolving threat landscape.
SpyderSec was founded by Serge Borso in 2015 and headquartered in Denver Colorado. The reason SpyderSec was founded and continues to operate today, is to make its clients better, more secure, and ultimately a more difficult target for adversaries (and this mission statement hasn't changed since day 1).
Within its first year of operations, SpyderSec provided penetration testing services for its first fortune 500 client. This marked a milestone; solidifying SpyderSec's ability to serve large and geographically diverse organizations.
The year 2016 also saw SpyderSec provide repeat work for a previous client. The hallmark of quality service, repeat business from satisfied clients is an ongoing mainstay at SpyderSec.
SpyderSec has been profitable since inception, but it was not until 2017 that revenue generation became sustainable and significant. To that end, SpyderSec was recognized by Enterprise Security Magazine: "Top 10 Vulnerability Management Solution Companies".
In partnership with local education institutes, SpyderSec launched an apprenticeship program. By hiring one student per cohort to learn the trade of Cyber Security, SpyderSec is working to help the student/apprentice, and the greater Security Community.
In March of 2019 SpyderSec sponsored SnowFROC (Denver's premier application security conference); taking the step to sponsor the event helped to solidify SpyderSec as a trusted community partner. SpyderSec continues to support the local cyber security community by sponsoring various events, and offering free workshops.
SpyderSec redesigned its website, expanded to new markets, rebranded its logo, and formally released an API for Espial™!
SpyderSec began conversations with The SANS Institute to create a new cyber security training course. The result was "SANS SEC388: Introduction to Cloud Computing and Security".
A main focus of 2022 was to give back to the community, and continue to invest in the SpyderSec team. This was accomplished by doubling down on apprenticeship efforts and sponsoring Cyber Security events in the Denver area.
One of the best things a healthy organization can do, is to forge new partnerships with trusted and respected companies... and people. Mission accomplished!
We are now offering official merchandise, starting with a t-shirt and hoodie, as well as a limited edition "Statement Shirt".
