At Confident, we envision a world where accessible and reliable analytical testing enhances transparency across supply chains, thereby enabling businesses and policy-makers to make better decisions that foster the well-being of people and the planet. Confident makes analytical testing efficient, accessible, and impactful by empowering labs and their clients with purpose-built technology & services. We do this by striving to build the best Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) in the world. Today, Confident is the #1 lab testing platform in the US legal cannabis industry, and is trusted by analytical labs across several other industries, including agriculture, food & beverage, nutraceuticals, and environmental industries. We are committed to creating software that not only facilitates but enhances the vital work of analytical testing laboratories. Our software is designed to be an extension of the lab itself, so seamlessly integrated into the workflow that it feels like a natural part of the scientific process To realize this vision, we invest in assembling a dream team, comprising individuals who are not just adept in their function, but who also have deep expertise in the specific industries we serve. This ensures that every interaction with our system and team is smooth, intuitive, and tailored to the unique needs of each lab. But beyond our technical prowess, what truly sets Confident apart is our culture — the bedrock upon which our team stands — and our ongoing commitment to evolve and grow as a team, so that we can continue being the indispensable partner that labs around the world rely on.

Amazingly, 3 out of 5 enterprise applications are never assessed for critical vulnerabilities such as SQL injection. Why? Because the traditional on-premises approach to application security doesn’t cut it anymore. It’s complex and manually-intensive – and difficult to scale. Veracode offers a fundamentally different approach. Our cloud-based service was purpose-built with the speed and scale required to reduce application-layer risk, enterprise-wide. Across web, mobile and third-party apps. And across the entire application lifecycle, from code development to IT operations. As organizations increasingly rely on web, mobile and cloud applications to drive their businesses, the threat surface exposed to cyberattackers has dramatically expanded. Our vision is to secure the world’s software. Our automated cloud-based service enables the rapid detection and remediation of critical vulnerabilities in all your applications – not just a small subset of them.
