You're In Business

White Cloud Security is a verifiable entity established in 2013, offering valid Application Whitelisting technology ('Trust Lockdown'). However, the submission is severely penalized for demonstrably false claims regarding traction ('most people have used my product') and generic audience definitions. While the revenue figure ($2.5M) suggests a functional small business comparable to the calibration baseline in scale, the lack of verifiable growth data and the low quality of the submission inputs result in a low confidence score.

Description
White Cloud Security's TRUST LOCKDOWN implements the number one type of breach prevention solution recommended by US-CERT, Australia, Canada, AIG, SANS, ISA, and NACD. White Cloud Security's technology introduces a novel approach to cybersecurity called “Trusted Apps," offering a simple, quick, and efficient means of trusting apps you want to run while denying execution of apps and scripts you do not want or intend to run. The White Cloud Security solution blocks ALL executable and scripted malware, effectively inoculates users against Ransomware/Cryptolocker attacks, and represents a paradigm-shifting departure from antivirus blacklisting and whitelisting.
