About Internet Security Systems
How ISS Started
In 1992, Christopher Klaus, a then 19 year-old college student and
computer science guru, invented a ground-breaking technology based
on the need for a security technology that could actively identify and
fix network security weaknesses.
After a tremendous response and continued demand for this new
technology, Christopher founded Internet Security Systems in 1994,
and teamed with software veteran, ISS President and Chief Executive
Officer, Thomas E. Noonan, to launch the company’s first official
commercial product, Internet Scanner™. Today, Internet Scanner
remains a core component of the ISS SAFEsuite product family and the
industry standard for automated security assessment and analysis.
Together, Christopher Klaus and Thomas Noonan launched a company
that would continue on an impressive path of success making an
elegant transition from a private start up to a leading public company
credited with pioneering and leading the field of security management.
Headquartered in Atlanta, Ga., ISS has established a strong global
presence with additional offices throughout North America and
international operations throughout Asia, Australia, Europe, and Latin
America.
