QuiteMove, located at http://www.quitemove.com is a small
Professional IT Security Services Provider that offers Training
services, Incident Response Services, Web Application Security
Services and Penetration Testing Services. QuiteMove was started by
Adam Munter in 2006 along with Jeffrey Rassas, and James Garvey, Jr.
You can read their mission statement here "http://www.mywikibiz.com/Directory:QuietMove
" (but its pretty basic).
When reviewing the QuiteMove website and people we were not the
least bit impressed. The QuiteMove website is packed full of
grammatical errors and many of the services don't even have
descriptions. The services that do have descriptions are very poorly
written and very poorly defined. Take a look at their Penetration
Testing service offering as an example. If you want to see an
example of no content check out their Social Engineering offering.
Since we were unable to extract anything useful from the materials
provided to us by QuiteMove we decided to focus on the talent behind
QuietMove. Unfortunately we were equally unimpressed. The only
technically oriented team members that we were able to identify
within QuietMove were Adam Munter, who is a founder and Marcin
Wielgoszewsk, who is a very "green" consultant. Seeing as Adam
Munter is being positioned as the technical visionary for QuietMove,
we decided to focus on him and not on Marcin.
Adam's Linkedin Bio: http://tinyurl.com/yt9j2y
As it turns out Adam Munter worked for Accuvant, a company that
competes directly with Adam's QuietMove; prior to founding
QuietMove. Adam's role at Accuvant was to lead consultants on IT
Security Engagements for large orginazations. In conjunction with
this, Adam also spoke at conferences. He worked here for 1 year and
1 month.
Prior to working for Accuvant, Adam worked for Pegasus Solutions
Inc. as the acting Chief Security Officer. Pegasus is the largest
hotel reservation distribution system vendor and a major vendor of
Hotel Management systems. Adam did get some Sarbanes Oxley work
under his belt as he helped Pegasus to successfully "marshall"
through their first audit. Adam also initiated the program to help
get Pegasus to be Visa CISP compliant, including evaluating and
changing their handling of payment Cardholder data. He worked here
for 2 years and 1 month.
From August 2000 to January 2003 Adam was a "Founding member of
IBM's Ethical Hacking Center of Competency." His responsibilities
included being a technical interviewer for new hires, a Penetration
Testing Subject Matter Expert, and the performance of consulting
engagements for clients ranging from midsize companies and
government agencies to the fortune 500. Adam worked for IBM for 2
years and 6 months.
So if we add up the relevant experience that Adam has had according
to his linked in bio we get 1 year and 1 month + 2 years and 6
months, which is a grand total of 3 years and 7 months of
professional IT Security Consulting Experience. Not sure about our
readers, but to us at Secreview that hardly makes Adam an IT
Security Expert.
But wait, now we have a discrepancy...
According to the QuietMove website, Adam "has over 14 years of
experience in information security, software, and product R&D with 8
years being dedicated solely to security." His QuietMove bio goes on
to say "Adam’s particular talents include penetration testing of web
and binary applications, networks, systems, and SCADA, “social engi
neering” and physical penetration of facilities, and in developing p
rofessional services offerings."
This just doesn't add up.
Anyway, remember we didn't set out to bash anyone here, but Adam/
QuietMove put himself/themselves in the line of fire. QuietMove
appears to be a very small and disorganized shop. Their website is
half-assed and incomplete and we can't say anything better about
their talent profile. We suggest that QuietMove complete their
website and review their talent profile, then we'll set out to do
another review and see if they score better. As of right now, we
can't give them more than a D-. We'll keep an eye on their website
and redo this review if they ever fix their issues.
