Who owns Lavawall®?
Lavawall is owned, developed, and maintained by ThreeShield Information Security Corporation, a 100% Canadian-owned Canadian federal corporation based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.Why does Lavawall® exist
The three big catalysts for Lavawall® were:- Two years after a missing Plex Media Server led to the LastPass breach, the
Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools available for Managed IT Service Providers (MSPs)
still didn't monitor for it.
Going through industry-specific applications, we noticed many were missing from the big RMM and patching providers. MSPs, insurance providers, and organizations that put their clients at risk need to know about these risks, which lead to the largest number of critical audit findings and breaches - After 20 years of writing the same audit findings about system configurations, Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance, and missing patches, our technical co-founder wanted to make it easier to avoid these findings
- The existing risk visibility tools for insurance underwriters took a shallow look at Internet-facing risks. They -- along with all businesses -- need a deeper view of the threats that could actually lead to breaches.

- Application and operating system patches for Windows, Mac, and Linux
- Battery, disk, fan health
