The 10 Coolest Security Startups Of 2015 (So Far)

Cybereason

CEO: Lior Div

As security software company Websense announced its $1.9 billion acquisition by defense contractor Raytheon, its competitor Cybereason stepped up to the plate, annoucing $25 million in Series B funding and a new partnership with Lockheed Martin. Founded in 2012 by former members of the Unit 8200, Israel's equivalent to the NSA, the Cambridge, Mass.-based company provides real-time threat detection capabilities that track an attack's root cause, timeline, endpoints affected and the tools behind the attack. For clients, that means full visibility into the life cycle and magnitude of an attack, CEO Lior Div told CRN, calling the offering a "super analyst in a box." The company said it is investing in expanding its partner base, including adding direct sales people to enable partners and investing in R&D to make the product simpler to use.
