We use dynamic instrumentation libraries that monitor web applications internals to detect security anomalies and block triggered vulnerabilities at runtime. Pretty much what an Application Performance Management tool (like New Relic) is doing, but for security. Before founding Sqreen, I led the Red Team (Offensive Security team) at Apple. I was brought on in 2006, so we're talking iMacs and iTunes at the time. The focus was initially on breaking DRM implementations (FairPlay).

We faced two major issues time and time again: scale (single digit team serving hundreds), and usefulness (how could w
