Fortscale Security builds a machine-learning UEBA platform that detects insider threats by modeling user and entity behavior across security infrastructure. Its platform is deployed in Fortune 1000 companies and uses big-data analytics and advanced machine learning to discover compromised credentials, rogue users, and real-time risk levels. The company recently launched Presidio, described as the industry’s first embedded UEBA engine that can be natively integrated into SIEM, EDR, EPP, DLP, CASB and IAM solutions. Fortscale announced a $7 million funding round that brings its total funding to $23 million. The company says it will use the proceeds to expand global business—specifically targeting European and Latin American markets—expand its R&D team in Israel, and continue evolving its product line. Fortscale has received industry recognition, including a 2016 Gartner “Cool Vendor” mention and placement on Calcalist’s list of top 50 most promising Israeli startups. Fortscale Security offers a user behavior analytics platform that uses machine learning, superior analytics and context-based alerting to identify insider threats. The company launched Fortscale 2.0 in 2015 as an upgrade to its solution. Fortscale said the financing will be used to implement sales and marketing campaigns to build on recent momentum. The article reports the company doubled its revenue over the prior year and strengthened its sales pipeline. Fortscale positions its product for enterprise security teams to rapidly detect and investigate malicious internal activity. The company is based in San Francisco. Fortscale turns enterprise big data into User Intelligence by making user profiles and behavior visible and easy to investigate. Its solution applies machine learning and big-data analytics to historical log data and existing repositories (e.g., SIEM), offering peer analysis, canned reports, visualization tools and queries. The product is aimed at enhancing SOC teams and security analysts, enabling faster prioritization and investigation of high-risk user behavior and access activity. Fortscale was founded in 2012 by security entrepreneurs from Israel's high-tech sector, including veterans of the IDF's elite intelligence and cyber unit, and its team includes specialists in big data, machine learning and cyber warfare. The company completed private beta testing at leading enterprises in the U.S. and Israel and said it will support new Fortune 1000 customers. Fortscale announced a $10 million funding round that it will use to expand R&D, engineering and analytics teams, promote partnerships, establish a Silicon Valley headquarters and grow its Israeli R&D and analytics organization.
