Two long-standing Mac security experts have formed DoubleYou, a firm that aims to develop security tools that other Mac developers can incorporate into their systems.
The new company was started by, and is named after the last initial of, noted security expert Patrick Wardle. Together with Mikhail Sosonkin, he plans to release modular security apps that can protect against one or many components of malware.
“Instead of building, for example, a whole product from scratch, we really took a step back,” Wardle told TechCrunch, “and we said ‘hey, how do the offensive adversaries do this?'”
