Endgame, which has been known for selling tools and zero-day exploits to government customers for offensive purposes, is shifting its focus to sell its military-grade security intelligence and analytics platform to enterprise customers.
Endgame CEO Nate Fick told Forbes earlier this year that he would be taking the company out of the zero-day exploit game.
