Critical Syntax, a Cybersecurity Company for Web Applications
In 2016 a small group of security experts and programmers in Pittsburgh got together to start a MSSP firm to provide cybersecurity, hosting and development consulting services for Web Applications.
Originally the focus was on WordPress sites. As an open source platform WordPress has over 25% of the worldwide installed base and therefore had become a notorious target for hackers and criminals. Having worked with WordPress since 2006 developing high-traffic sites for companies, political campaigns and organizations, the team had seen first hand the hacking attempts targeted at high-profile web sites.
Today the company focuses on protecting a broad range of web applications including web sites, webmail, online CRM systems and other applications online and in the cloud.
