Norse is a live attack intelligence company that provides enterprise threat intelligence products and services, including the Norse Appliance 10g and the Norse Intelligence Service, a turnkey "early-warning-as-a-service". Its Norse Intelligence Network is a globally-distributed grid of sensors, honeypots, crawlers and agents that processes hundreds of terabytes daily against a 7 petabyte attack history database. Norse's processing weighs over 1,500 variables to compute real-time risk scores for millions of IP addresses and URLs every day, enabling near-real-time detection and blocking of threats. The company said the new funding will be used primarily to bolster product development and accelerate expansion of its global sales organization to capitalize on international growth opportunities. Norse has appointed Andrew Lewman as vice president of data development and David Weier as senior vice president of worldwide sales to support those efforts. The company serves large financial, government and technology organizations and is headquartered in Foster City, Calif. Norse provides a patent-pending, infrastructure-based technology that continuously collects and analyzes real-time, high-risk Internet traffic to identify sources of cyber attacks and fraud. The company is led by CEO Sam Glines and CTO Tommy Stiansen. It is headquartered in San Mateo, CA, and also has offices in St. Louis and Atlanta.
