Software

FireCompass

FireCompass is a SaaS platform for Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART) & Attack Surface Management (ASM). It continuously indexes and monitors the deep, dark & surface web to map out an organization's digital attack surface including Shadow IT blind spots. The platform then automatically launches safe multi-stage attacks, mimicking a real attacker, to help identify attack paths before hackers do. The platform eliminates the need for multiple tools and significant manual effort while providing continuous and proactive security. FireCompass is a cutting-edge cybersecurity platform that focuses on continuous pen testing and red teaming. Their services ensure that businesses take a proactive approach towards their security, testing not just a fraction but the entirety of their external attack surfaces. This comprehensive approach ensures that peripheral assets, which might typically remain untested for extended periods, are continuously monitored. FireCompass is trusted by Fortune 500 companies, including top telecom companies in the USA, leading banks, financial services, insurance providers, IT/ITES companies, and major players in manufacturing and e-commerce.

Iterative Health

Healthcare

Iterative Health

Iterative Health is pioneering the use of artificial intelligence-based precision medicine in gastroenterology (GI), with the aim of helping to optimize clinical trials investigating treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We use advanced machine learning and computer vision to interpret endoscopic images along with other types of data, helping clinicians to better assess patients with potential GI problems. This gives practitioners enhanced capabilities in the detection, annotation, disease scoring and treatment of GI related diseases. Iterative Health is initially applying these advances towards standardizing disease severity characterization for inflammatory bowel disease. Ultimately, the company aims to establish more meaningful endpoints to serve as better predictors of both therapeutic response and disease outcomes. The company is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
