Redsocks [ now Bitdefender ]

RedSocks Security was a Dutch company with its roost in the intelligence community, that specializes in malware detection. In 2018, RedSocks was acquired by BitDefender

In 2011, when other institutes failed for weeks to resolve a malicious breach at an international pharmaceutical company that got hit by cybercriminals who had stolen 9 years of research data, current RedSocks CTO, Pepijn Janssen and his team were asked to document and build a body of intelligence against the individuals associated with the crime. Their successful work caught the interest of other enterprises so the concepts were developed and so was RedSocks born in 2012. In 2018, RedSocks was acquired by BitDefender.
