Ex-CTO Ex-Meta FinTech Security

After years as a CTO in fintech — and before that at Meta — I got tired of the same problem every security leader faces: finding the right tools and services without wading through vendor marketing, pay-to-play review sites, and "contact us for pricing" pages.

InfoSecList.com exists because I built the directory I wished existed when I was evaluating security vendors for my own teams. Every listing is vetted by practitioners who've actually deployed these tools in production.

The Problem

Security tool selection is broken. G2 and Gartner are pay-to-play. Vendor sites are marketing fluff. Reddit threads are outdated. CTOs waste weeks evaluating tools that don't fit.

The Solution

A curated, practitioner-vetted directory with transparent scoring, real pricing, and honest comparisons — organized by what you're actually trying to accomplish.

How We Score

Two axes that matter: Market Score (brand trust & track record) and Value Score (ROI & pricing accessibility). No single score hides the tradeoffs.

Our Model

Sponsored placements are clearly labeled. Organic rankings are based on merit. We'll never move a listing up because someone paid us — and we'll always tell you when one is sponsored.

Our Principles

  • 1
    Practitioner-first Every listing is reviewed by people who've actually used the tool or service in production, not marketing teams.
  • 2
    Transparency over everything Sponsored content is always labeled. Scoring methodology is public. We show our work.
  • 3
    Real pricing or no listing We push vendors to share pricing publicly. If they won't, we publish community-sourced ranges.
  • 4
    Rankings can't be bought Organic positions are determined by our scoring system. Paid placements are separate and clearly marked.
  • 5
    Open source gets respect Free and open-source tools are listed alongside commercial products with no bias. Great security shouldn't require a budget.
