The company also launched today its Linux Server Sensor and presented its Active Monitoring Service.
“What sets Cybereason apart from other endpoint software companies from my vantage point is their ability to rapidly detect complex cyber attacks that evade today's traditional defenses from anywhere in the world,” said Richard Rushing, CISO, Motorola Mobility.
