Founded in 2005, Assembla has more than 5,500 customers across 157 countries, including Deutsche Telekom, Bayer, Kellogg’s, Oracle, Unity, Disney, Apple, Marketo and Salesforce. The company’s platform evaluates these organizations’ software projects to minimize or eliminate vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers.
