NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- NopSec, Inc., a leading provider of security services and Security-as-a-Service solutions for small and medium-sized businesses, today announced its inaugural sponsorship of Shmoocon, the eighth annual conference hosted by The Shmoo Group. Affectionately called the "hacker convention" for demonstrating technology exploitation and inventive solutions, it will take place January 27th through January 29th in Washington, D.C.

"The Shmoo Group is excited to count NopSec among our loyal supporters this year," said Bruce Potter, founder of The Shmoo Group, a non-profit think-tank for information-security research and development.

The convention will enable NopSec to showcase its Vulnerability Risk Management (VRM) modules that pioneer in their multiplicity of attack techniques, false-positive verification and unified vulnerability-management approach. Founded in 2008, NopSec has evolved from a penetration-testing firm to a SaaS-enabled security service provider and risk-management solution.
