Mayhem Security, previously known as ForAllSecure, has recently undergone a significant rebranding effort. The Pittsburgh-based company, renowned for its cutting-edge application security testing solutions, made the decision to change its corporate name to Mayhem Security to better align with its flagship product, the Mayhem Application Security platform.
Initially founded by a team of researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, ForAllSecure has transitioned from a research and development-focused entity to a product-centric organization centered around the innovative Mayhem platform. This platform, which rapidly evolved from a prototype developed for the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) Cyber Grand Challenge, has now become a sought-after AI-driven application security tool. With its integration into thousands of open-source projects, the Mayhem platform has proven instrumental in identifying new zero-day vulnerabilities and fortifying defenses against software supply chain threats.
The decision to rebrand as Mayhem Security comes in the wake of the company’s exceptional product performance, with annual recurring revenue (ARR) experiencing a remarkable 275% increase year over year. Additionally, an impressive 78% of customers have expanded their utilization of the Mayhem platform either at or before their initial subscription renewal.
In a statement, Mayhem CEO David Brumley expressed enthusiasm for the company’s new identity, emphasizing the pivotal role the Mayhem platform plays in driving growth and innovation. Brumley highlighted the platform’s significant contribution to revenue generation and underscored the ongoing commitment to pioneering cybersecurity research and defense strategies.
Over the past year, Mayhem Security has achieved notable milestones in product development and innovation. One standout accomplishment is the release of the Mayhem Dynamic software bill of materials (SBOM), which leverages the platform’s runtime intelligence to streamline software composition analysis (SCA) and SBOM processes. By focusing on an application’s actual behavior to pinpoint exploitable vulnerabilities, this innovation streamlines triage efforts, reduces false positives, and bolsters developer productivity while mitigating application risks.
In addition to the SBOM release, Mayhem Security revamped its symbolic executor, enhancing testing and triage speeds by a notable 60%. The company also extended support to Windows-based applications and introduced a beta version of automated harnessing for embedded systems, further expanding the platform’s capabilities and versatility.
Looking ahead, Mayhem Security is poised to continue its collaboration with government entities and industry partners to advance cybersecurity practices. By automating vulnerability identification and remediation processes, the company aims to revolutionize cybersecurity approaches for organizations of all sizes.
