of securing the internet

GeoTrust is built for scrappy, agile teams who need security that "just works" 

We see you. Your dev team built an awesome web application. You’ve set up the domain, server, CDN, DNS, caching, CI/CD — you’ve done it all. Now the world can see it. But so can the bad actors...they’d love to find a vulnerability and gain access to the server to delete your code or inject junk into your database. That’s why we built the GeoTrust Horizon® platform.

It’s for fast-moving builders (like you) who expect: 

  • Up-front, affordable pricing (no drawn-out sales meetings)
  • Fast and easy setup (in minutes...not days or weeks)
  • Tech that’s equal or better than the high-priced enterprise solutions
  • Flexibility you control (no contracts...cancel or change anytime)
