Technology Evaluation Services
Throughout the past ten years we collected knowledge. We evaluated dozens of products and helped develop others. We studied the new advancements in the field of security, and studied each new solution we could get enough information on. We reviewed thousands of documents, standards, specifications, articles and commentary; all are indexed and filed in one digital library.
For an investor in a new technology, this knowledge is power. This power can be translated into money by separating presumably better investments from the rest, as part of the due-diligence process. We know the security market. We know the real problems that seek solutions as we know the widespread solutions that seek problems. We know what can be done today, and we know what problems are probably here to stay (at least for a while). We know many of the ways that were already taken, and in some cases we know where they led to.
We serve this knowledge to investors who need to evaluate investment opportunities in the field of information security. When presented with a new security concept or a new proposed solution to a problem, we can help in addressing the following questions:
- Does the problem actually exist? How meaningful is it? What is the magnitude of the market that seeks solution for this problem?
- Is the proposed solution effective in solving the problem?
- Is the proposed solution feasible? Can it be implemented at a reasonable cost?
- Is the proposed solution secure? Does it hold water from the security perspective? Can it be certified?
- Was it (or a similar concept) ever tried before?
- Are the people involved skillful in the art?
We attempt to address these questions, as well as any other that arise during the due-diligence process. We get the customer into a position in which he/she invests his/her money only after tapping into a large knowledge-base of relevant technologies, experiences, solved and yet unsolved problems.
