It is important to accentuate the vulnerability that occurred in February 2019, where WebARX detected a critical fault in a WordPress plugin. This allowed attackers to control entire websites through “Simple Social Buttons”. This problem put more than 40,000 websites at risk of getting hacked, but the problem got solved rapidly thanks to WebARX discovery of the vulnerability.
Since its creation in July 2018, WebARX’s list of clients has not plateaued in growth. The company currently consists of 5 employees, and provides its innovative platform to consumers in more than 83 countries. The company’s product protects over 100,000 websites worldwide, all while improving and monitoring their security.
At ODS, we are committed to cybersecurity innovation. Our collaboration offers very positive aspects for both of our companies, and we are sure that together we will grow. All as we follow the road to innovation, security and protection in today’s digital world!
