A renowned security expert, OWASP board member and founder of Manicode Security. With over 20 years of experience in software development and security architecture, Jim's guidance ensures Wristband adheres to the highest security standards.
Wristband was born out of frustration with the state of B2B authentication. The founders, Jim, David, and Bryan, witnessed the struggles companies face with building and maintaining secure auth frameworks, often leading to instability, scalability issues, and developer burnout.
They realized that existing solutions were either inadequate or overly complex and expensive, leaving many companies without access to enterprise-level security. This "SSO tax" became the driving force behind Wristband's mission: to democratize enterprise-level security and make it accessible to businesses of all sizes.
The team dedicated themselves to building Wristband from the ground up, bootstrapping the company and investing their own resources to create a truly multi-tenant B2B auth framework. They believe that secure authentication should be the foundation of every application, not an afterthought.
Wristband is committed to eliminating the SSO tax and empowering businesses to build secure applications from day one.
