Avanan
CEO: Gil Friedrich
Launching from stealth at the end of the year, Avanan is one of the startups looking to tap into the growing opportunity for Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs). Founded by four former ForeScout executives, the New York-based startup looks to bridge the gap between cloud applications and best-of-breed security vendors, including Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Symantec and others. Under a single platform, MSPs, enterprises and smaller businesses can deploy data security, malware scanning, anti-virus, encryption, anomaly detection, data sanitization, endpoint compliance and more, as well as manage and enforce polices.
