A Look at Our Unique San Francisco Office
Did you know that our San Francisco headquarters used to be a brewery? After the repeal of Prohibition in 1934, the building was purchased by the German brewer, Joseph Kraus, who used the facility to re-open his famous Anchor Brewing Company. We just had professional photos taken of the remodel of our building, which was designed by architect Shira Schapira, and added them to a beautiful slide show on our blog.

How do Antivirus Engines Rank Over Time?
We took a look at antivirus engine rankings across three testing organizations including AV-Test, AV-Comparatives and Virus Bulletin in order to answer the question: "Can a single antivirus engine take the top spot each year across all 3 testing organizations?"
Protecting the Financial Sector from Threats
Over the past few years, the financial industry has been moving towards more digitization and greater accessibility. While this has proved beneficial for the industry as a whole, it has also made it more susceptible to cyber attacks. We discuss the steps this industry can take to better protect itself against cyber attacks.
