Quantifying Software Risk For Consumers
We're presenting research at the CCC congress in Germany! You can download slides after the talk and see highlights here.
The Cyber Independent Testing Lab (CITL) was organized exclusively for scientific and educational purposes, with the mission of advising software consumers through expert scientific inquiry into software safety. We are an organization that produces an independent comparative measure of the risk of ownership of computer software and systems. Our mission is to work for a fair, just, and safe software marketplace for all consumers and to empower consumers to protect themselves. We engage in scientific research to test software and computing products, and then we will publish the results of that research in a way that will best empower and educate software consumers.
