Cybereason was named 'Best Emerging Technology" by SC Awards Europe 2015. The annual SC Awards program is recognized as the most prestigious mark of achievement for IT security products and vendors. The award is now in its 18th year and showcases the best solutions, services and professionals fighting against security threats.
"Due to our military experience, my co-founders and I were trained to combat sophisticated hacking operations very early on," said Lior Div, CEO and co-founder, Cybereason. "That knowledge is part of Cybereason's DNA and impacts every aspect of our solution, which we designed to empower our customers to defend their organizations against well-funded and highly skilled adversaries. Winning such a prestigious honour is extremely validating, and we are ecstatic to be recognized by SC Award judges for innovating breach detection and response."
By continuously hunting for known and unknown malicious activities within an environment, the Cybereason Endpoint Detection and Response platform dramatically reduces the time it takes to detect and confirm a breach. Connecting isolated pieces of malicious activity, it visually presents the complete 'attack story' as it unfolds in real-time. Through its unique application of big data analytics and machine learning, Cybereason's Malop Hunting Engine analyzes up to eight million events per second to reveal the key elements of an attack, including its timeline, root cause, adversarial activity, malware involved, communication inside and outside of the environment and the affected endpoints and users.
"Identifying malware installed on individual machines is only one component of detecting a hacking campaign," Div continues. "Security teams need to do more than stop the attack, they need to stop the attacker – that's what we help them do."
