✓ Meeting Compliance Standards
Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
For DiscrimiNAT, we leveraged Google Cloud's internal load balancer bump-in-the-wire technology to build a genuinely Cloud-native and seamless solution. By staying away from a transparent proxy like a solution, a whole category of risks such as protocol downgrades and performance degradation were architected out.
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
We are an AWS Gateway Load Balancing Partner for Security Appliances. Our first ever launch was on AWS back in September 2019! AWS is still a favourite among many with beautifully crafted APIs and a more traditional networking design. It remains our go-to platform for compliance tests; and of course, all features are developed with parity on all the platforms we support. Our profile on AWS Marketplace reiterates our intents with product design with this leader in the public Cloud space.
OUR QUALITY
We have clocked an astounding number of hours in developing an end-to-end testing framework for our products. It tests across a whole range of platforms, scenarios and integrations automatically, and can cover the rarest of infrastructure edge cases. Our exhaustive test suite ensures consistent quality, tight control on the promised functionality and a spec-tested developer experience of our products. This results in quick turnaround times to feature development, and patching should a security researcher report an issue to us via our vulnerability disclosure guide.
THE PAST
Our story begins with with our Chief Engineer trying to protect his home network and data, limiting the exposure of his personal and IoT devices to the internet with a transparent, in-line gateway.
When he couldn't find a product to suit his needs, he started building one himself.
Raspberry Pi
At the time developed on a Raspberry Pi, our Packet Engine is still tested for compatibility and performance on the modest capabilities of an ARM SBC.
Then sometime in the post-Cloud world, when retrofitting security appliances (from the bygone on-prem era but now virtualised) in the Cloud, he had an epiphany and realised that a newer form of a lean security stack, leveraging Cloud-native APIs and addressing modern threats was needed. Chaser Systems was founded and DiscrimiNAT was born.
THE PRESENT
Now, with locations both in London (the centre of FinTech) and Cambridge (the centre of DeepTech) Chaser are positioned perfectly to keep our product moving forward with cutting edge technology and support client needs.
With customers across the globe in various sectors, Chaser are going from strength to strength in the security sector, while still being able to give clients the personal touch.
