MAD Products

A key component to a complete security strategy is the selection and implementation of appropriate hardware/software controls within the environment.  This can be as simple as a firewall or as detailed as a whole-enterprise identity management or security incident/event management (SIEM)  tool.  In any case, choosing the right products to implement the appropriate controls is vital to the success of your security plan.

MAD Security only works with leading product vendors who are willing to implement products at a particularly high standard and have a history of providing innovative solutions that actually meet the needs of its customers.  Through our careful and detailed selection process, MAD has chosen to work with the vendors below:


Founded in 1999 and based in Portsmouth, NH, NitroSecurity develops the industry’s fastest analytical tools to identify, correlate and remediate information security threats in minutes instead of hours. NitroSecurity solutions reduce business risk exposure and increase network and information availability by removing the scalability and performance limitations of security information management.

Utilizing the industry’s fastest analytical tools, NitroSecurity identifies correlates and remediates threats in minutes instead of hours, allowing organizations to quickly mitigate risks to the organization’s information and infrastructure, while satisfying stringent regulatory compliance reporting guidelines.


Network-based threats, such as spam, spyware and viruses, phishing, identity theft, data theft and other forms of cyber crime, have become commonplace. To combat these threats, network security appliances have become standard issue in the enterprise data center.

Unfortunately, these sophisticated security devices are blind to the payloads of encrypted communications.  The Netronome SSL Inspector improves the performance and effectiveness of enterprise security appliances by offering unparalleled access to the plaintext of encrypted communications.


RedSeal Systems delivers in-depth understanding of overall security posture, continuous compliance with regulations such as PCI, FISMA, and SOX, and actionable steps for risk remediation. Rather than looking at a single system or device, it analyzes and simplifies the complex interaction of firewalls, routers, load balancers and hosts throughout the infrastructure.  And unlike systems that detect attacks once they occur, RedSeal identifies holes in the security infrastructure that could be exploited—before they are discovered by hackers.


Netwitness offers a powerful infrastructure that records all data on the network and performs fully automated analyses of immense volumes of reconstructed network, application, and user traffic.

Netwitness is specifically designed to provide specific and accurate threat alerts and in depth policy and regulatory compliance reports on a wide variety of categories including Sarbanes-Oxley, GLBA, PCI and much more. Netwitness distills highly sophisticated sets of complex network data and quickly highlights common business concerns such as insider threats, data leakage, covert activities/channels, compromised hosts and malware activities.

The Human Side of Security

The information security industry tends to focus on technology. This is strange when 70-80% of attacks are due to human error or misuse. Check out our human security testing progams or our Security Awareness programs to help fix your biggest holes.
