# Security
We take security seriously:
1. Mongoose repository runs a
[continuous integration test powered by GitHub ](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/actions ),
which runs through hundreds of unit tests on every commit to the repository.
Our [unit tests ](https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/tree/master/test )
are built with modern address sanitizer technologies, which help to find
security vulnerabilities early
2. Mongoose repository is integrated into Google's
[oss-fuzz continuous fuzzer ](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/list?sort=-opened&can=1&q=proj:mongoose )
which scans for potential vulnerabilities continuously
3. We receive periodic vulnerability reports from the independent security
groups like
[Cisco Talos ](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/security/talos.html ),
[Microsoft Security Response Center ](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc ),
[MITRE Corporation ](https://www.mitre.org/ ),
[Compass Security ](https://www.compass-security.com/en/ ) and others.
In case of the vulnerability found, we act according to the industry best
practice: hold on to the publication, fix the software and notify all our
2021-05-04 20:55:45 +08:00
customers that have an appropriate subscription
2021-05-05 00:02:46 +08:00
4. Some of our customers (for example NASA)
2021-05-04 20:46:44 +08:00
have specific security requirements and run independent security audits,
of which we get notified and in case of any issue, act similar to (3).
