Mission
Shadowserver's mission is to make the internet more secure by bringing to light vulnerabilities, malicious activity and emerging threats. Since 2004, shadowserver has been investigating malicious internet activity, collecting malware with its related analysis and meta data, working with law enforcement in various capacities, and sharing infection and malicious data with appropriate network owners. Shadowserver also provides educational presentations worldwide while encouraging the open sharing of data within the security industry and with vendor and government organizations. Shadowserver has emerged as one of the world's leading resources for internet security reporting and malicious activity investigation and maintains a global infrastructure spanning 90 countries. The organization is funded from sponsorships, grants and charitable donations.
