WALTHAM, Mass. (February 26, 2014) – CounterTack, a pioneer in delivering real-time endpoint threat detection, context and visibility around targeted attacks, today announced it has secured funding from OnPoint Technologies, a venture capital initiative created by the U.S. Department of Defense to assist small companies that develop technologies important to the U.S. Army. The funding will support CounterTacks accelerated go-to-market strategy and global expansion in the endpoint threat detection and response market, and helps the U.S. Army explore and evaluate technology innovation in the private sector.
Aggressive cyber activity – from corporate espionage to the destruction of infrastructure – is rapidly becoming one of the worlds biggest security threats, said Neal Creighton, CEO of CounterTack. Were thrilled to receive funding from OnPoint to further build out our leading endpoint security platform. Cyber is now recognized by the military as the fifth domain of warfare, which means the need for innovative security technologies to protect organizations from highly motivated, persistent attackers, has never been greater.
Protection starts with the endpoint – which must become the attackers equal. Drawing inspiration from sophisticated attackers, CounterTack embeds real-time, continuous collection and intervention technology into endpoint operating systems – enterprise-wide. CounterTacks Sentinel solution provides real-time threat detection, context and visibility into attacker behaviors. This visibility enables CounterTack to rapidly detect and analyze targeted threats on desktop and server endpoints throughout enterprise systems, and correlate threats enterprise-wide, to identify attack characteristics and broader trends to better defend against them.
CounterTack is making unprecedented advancements in the field of endpoint security and plays a key role in helping enterprises and government agencies defend against motivated, sophisticated attackers, said Jason Rottenberg, Managing Director at OnPoint Technologies. CounterTack understands the importance of evolving its products to keep pace with the changing security landscape. With their dynamic approach, were excited to help foster their continued innovation for enterprise and military systems.
