Hunters provides a cloud-native security operations platform and automation designed to help enterprises replace legacy Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems. The company emphasizes a security data lake model and is a Powered By Snowflake partner, enabling integrations with data platforms. Since its Series B, Hunters has doubled down on pursuing SIEM replacements and building strategic partnerships to scale its sales motion. The team plans to develop a similar partnership approach with Databricks as it has with Snowflake. Hunters says its revenue grew 5x in 2021, demonstrating rapid commercial traction. The company has attracted multiple strategic investors to support aggressive growth as market demand for improved security operations increases. Hunters develops an Open XDR platform that ingests data from multiple sources and sensors, correlates it, and uses automation and machine learning to hunt for tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by attackers. The platform aims to reduce time to detection and accelerate response for security incidents, and Hunters highlights integrations with partners such as Snowflake. The company plans to scale go-to-market sales, marketing, and partner efforts while cutting through crowded security markets with new innovations. Product roadmap items include enhanced machine learning to better correlate sources and the integration of additional threat intelligence feeds. Hunters says it has hit internal milestones for customer acquisition and revenues and will use new funding to grow the business. The company was founded in 2018 and has offices in Newton, Mass. and Tel Aviv, Israel. Hunters is a Tel Aviv-based cybersecurity company whose SaaS platform automates threat-hunting by ingesting telemetry from endpoint detection and response, firewalls, cloud sensors and other security tools to detect stealth attacks. The product functions as a cognitive/connective layer that correlates large volumes of security data to generate attack stories and expedite response workflows. Hunters’ first customer and design partner was Snowflake, which now lists Hunters in its partner marketplace; CrowdStrike also features Hunters in its marketplace and exemplifies its target customer. The company targets high-end mid-market organizations that are cloud-native, have mature tech stacks and security teams seeking automated threat-hunting capabilities. Hunters plans to use new funding to build go-to-market capabilities in the U.S., expand R&D in Israel, broaden product integrations and machine-learning capabilities, and allow customers to develop custom signals and detections. Financially, the company completed a $15M Series A and has raised $20.4M in total to date. Hunters.ai offers an autonomous threat-hunting machine that integrates with existing systems to continuously analyze data and surface correlated attack stories rather than simple alerts. The product focuses on turning disparate signals into actionable remediation items for security teams. Hunters emphasizes scalability to compensate for the shortage of highly skilled threat-hunting talent inside organizations. The founding team includes CEO Uri May and CTO Tomer Kazaz, both of whom began their careers in the Israeli Defense Forces. The company is available to a limited set of customers today and plans general availability in late 2019. Hunters recently raised a $5.4M seed funding round led by YL Ventures and Blumberg Capital.
