The 10 Coolest Security Startups Of 2015 (So Far)

Palerra

CEO: Rohit Gupta

Security startup Palerra is red hot so far this year, landing $17 million in funding and lots of praise from partners and analysts alike for its cloud security automation platform. The company was also named a "Cool Vendor" by Gartner this year in the area of risk management. The LORIC security platform aims to help enterprises automate the process of threat detection, incident response, analytics and more around cloud and SaaS offerings. That type of technology is particularly important as businesses move to more of a threat detection model, than one based around threat prevention. The company said it is actively building out its channel partner program, expecting to launch a formal program in the near future.
