Cybereason, the leader in operation-centric  attack protection, today announced it has been named to The Herd 100, D.A. Davidson’s ranking of the Top 100 private technology companies. The Cybereason operation-centric security approach enables defenders to outthink and outpace sophisticated cyber threats from nation-state attackers and cybercriminal groups. 

“I couldn't be more impressed with Cybereason as they experience record growth and including them in The Herd 100 is indicative of the traction they are receiving as one of the top private innovators in North America,” said Greg Thomas, managing director, technology investment banking at D.A. Davidson. “Cybereason's differentiator in a crowded endpoint security industry is the use of its patented Malicious Operations (Malop™) engine, giving security professionals visibility into full cyberattacks across organizations.”

“The Cybereason operation-centric security approach is disrupting the cybersecurity industry across North America and the world by enabling defenders to combat sophisticated and persistent threats to their organizations, including ransomware. Being named to The Herd 100 further validates Cybereason growth and our goal to deploy the Cybereason Defense Platform in all businesses as the gold-standard for endpoint solutions replacing existing legacy endpoint solutions,” said Lior Div, CEO and Co-founder, Cybereason.
