Corporate Software Inspector will soon become Software Vulnerability Manager

Sometimes, a product evolves in a way that its name no longer reflects its use and its capabilities. This is what happened to Corporate Software Inspector (or CSI, as our loyal customers over the years have referred to it).

In his vanity, the king p…

The ‘Could Have Been Worse’ WannaCry Has Arrived
