Company

As real as it gets. We are Sucuri.

Protect Your Interwebs!

Sucuri is a California Limited Liability Corporation, headquartered in the jewel of the South – The Inland Empire. Our team is spread across two continents – North and South America. The company was founded by two highly passionate members of the Information Security (InfoSec) domain, both focusing on two very distinct areas – Defensive/Preventive and Awareness.

Sucuri’s inception was in 2007 in the bedroom of our founder, but the idea of tackling the web-based malware problem first came to us in 2004. You can find distant cousins of our engine under the name of Owl, version .1, and WIGS (Web Information Gathering System). Both open-source projects were offered to the masses for free. It was through this process that we built the knowledge we required to understand what end-users really need.

Sucuri, the brand, rose from the rivers of the Brazilian Amazon in 2009, making its first sale in 2010, and incorporating in the US later that year. The product was developed as a cost-effective solution that would help to make the interwebs a safer place for everyone, hence our tag line “Protect Your Interwebs!”.

With our roots well founded in military principles, we apply the KIS (Keep it Simple) model to most things we do. Defining our vision was no different.

Continue to innovate the way the world fights web based malware.

We are team of individuals with simple ideals but grand goals. We work every day to improve our processes and, more importantly, bring our service to prospective clients while retaining a quality service for existing clients.

We are not backed by any Venture Capital or Angel investor and that’s not because of a lack of offers. Instead, we are committed to retaining our culture and quality of service. Since our official inception in 2010 we have more than quadrupled in size in all measurable metrics and have established ourselves as a dominating force in the anti-web malware industry. Our clients span the globe, reaching every continent except to Antarctica. We stay true to our values, which is as simple as our mission:

The most vulnerable time for any website owner is when all seems to be lost; your site has been blacklisted, your techy cousin is unable to help, and your host has told you it’s your problem. We want to help you retain perspective, calmly engage, while treating you with respect, and get your site back online, quickly.

What’s in a Name?

We get funny looks from folks as they try to pronounce our company name, or when they hear us pronounce it. But Sucuri the name has an important meaning to us.

“Sucuri” is Portuguese: it’s the name for the Anaconda found in the Brazilian Amazon. The Sucuri has a reputation for being big and dangerous, dominating its habitat. It has a life-span of 30 years and is recorded as the second largest snake in the world. Like our namesake, we dominate our habitat and are dangerous to those intent on maliciously attacking websites.

The name also has a second meaning, it was the name given to a Brazilian tank destroyer in the 1980s, the EE-18 Sucuri Tank Destroyer. What more is there to say? It’s a tank destroyer and we’re a malware destroyer.
