The 10 Coolest Security Startups Of 2015 (So Far)

Waratek

CEO: Brian Maccaba

Named the "most innovative company" at this year's RSA Conference Innovation Sandbox, Waratek provides large enterprises and institutions with runtime application protection using secure container technology in on-premise or cloud environments. The result is akin to a "bulletproof vest" for applications, CEO Brian Maccaba told CRN, protecting them from both known and unknown flaws in software applications as well as remediating live vulnerabilities. The focus on application-level security is a relatively new trend for the security space that is garnering a lot of interest in the market, particularly in the financial and government sectors, Maccaba said. As the company continues to expand, it said it is looking to boost its investment in expanding its channel program to target more of the Fortune 1000 companies.
