Together, they plan to deliver solutions to organizations that will find, assess and counter hidden cyber threats within their networks.

Their software is best known for aiding authorities in convicting Scott Peterson, who murdered his wife and unborn child in 2004 and for catching Dennis Rader, the famed “BTK killer” who killed 10 people between 1974 and 1991 and wasn’t caught until he taunted police by sending them a CD in 2005, leaving behind traceable digital footprints. https://www.guidancesoftware.com/
