Launch HN: Fuzzbuzz (YC W19) – Fuzzing as a Service
I know of a company, called Security Innovation, that tried this in 2002. It went very badly at times. They added training and pen testing, and today they bring in just $20 million per year.<p>They opened an office in Seattle to fuzz for Microsoft. As soon as they proved that they could succeed, Microsoft hired away all the people, leaving the company with a lease for an empty office.<p>Generally, companies don't trust outsiders and/or don't see a need. You're up against internal politics too. People within the company don't want to compete with you and don't want to be embarrassed by you.
