Sucuri: Company Background

After founding the open-source intrusion detection system (OSSEC) in 2008, developer and entrepreneur Daniel Cid launched Sucuri in 2009. In 2010, the California-based company released its first product, Network-Based Integrity Monitoring (NBIM), offering administrators monitoring and change management of content, WHOIS, and DNS

Shortly after, Sucuri launched its remediation services and two years later, its cloud-based WAF in 2013. Its quick success made Sucuri a recognized web security vendor leading to its acquisition in March 2017 by web hosting company GoDaddy. Today, the Sucuri team includes more than 125 professionals in 27 countries supporting global clients around the clock.
