Code Intelligence

Code Intelligence enables companies to strengthen the security and reliability of their software. At the foundation of its technology stack the startup utilizes fuzzing, a modern application security testing technology. Through fuzzing a large scale of attack vectors can be tested automatically through pseudo-random mutations of the input parameters, uncovering vulnerabilities as well as reliability issues efficiently and timely.
As useful as fuzzing is in uncovering bugs in software, setting it up and using it properly is time-consuming and requires highly qualified IT security experts. The goal of Code Intelligence is twofold: on the one hand to make security testing experts work more efficiently, and on the other hand to make the security testing process more usable and automated so that even developers without security expertise can implement modern standards.

Ten years of experience with digital champions such as Zappos, Zalando, ASOS, About You and Revolve have taught us lessons like this. It’s this experience and our innovative mindset that has helped create a truly customer-centric performance advertising framework. A framework that enables retailers to acquire loyal, new customers and drive profitable growth through Paid Search, Paid Social and Display. Today, Crealytics counts Worldwide IR500 notables such as Foot Locker, Urban Outfitters and Staples as well as brands like Lands’ End and s. Oliver as clients.
