Prevailion provides a zero‑touch Evidence of Compromise (EoC) solution that detects cyber compromises within seconds of malware first landing on a network. The company combines a specialized Adversarial Counterintelligence Tactics (ACT) team with a global sensor network and specialized software that eavesdrops on threat actor infrastructure. That capability uncovers previously undetected compromise information across corporate, supply chain and government systems and delivers around‑the‑clock intelligence on new compromises, escalating breach activity and remediation efforts. Prevailion currently tracks over 28,000 compromised organizations globally, including publicly traded companies, supply‑chain partners, governments, hospitals, universities and NGOs. The company says the funding will fuel further disruption of intelligence and threat detection programs and accelerate growth. Prevailion plans to expand usability, reporting and its partner ecosystem by the end of 2021 and is boosting marketing and sales to meet global product and customer demand. Prevailion provides tailored cybersecurity intelligence that enables businesses to conduct risk discovery, evaluation and mitigation. The company is led by founder and CEO Karim Hijazi and is based in Columbia, MD. In 2019 it received a strategic investment from Legion Capital Partners; the amount was not disclosed. Legion Capital’s managing partner Mike Viscuso, cofounder of Carbon Black (acquired by VMware), joined Prevailion’s board as an observer. Four months earlier Prevailion raised a $10M Series A led by AllegisCyber and it raised a $2M seed from DataTribe in 2018, bringing disclosed prior funding to $12M. No operating metrics or explicit future product plans were disclosed in the article. Prevailion is a Columbia, MD-based cybersecurity firm focused on compromise intelligence to help organizations manage risk mitigation and business decision-making. Its core product combines next-level tailored intelligence with a zero-touch platform to provide customers and partner ecosystems a full view of confirmed evidence of compromise. The company is led by founder and CEO Karim Hijazi. Prevailion intends to use its $10M Series A to grow internal and external legal, policy, and operational expertise and to expand its executive ranks. It will also invest in engineering and sales executives and has added a Tailored Intelligence team led by Adam Flatley, joined by David Maynor, Nate Winslow, Ph.D., and Danny Adamitis. Elizabeth Wharton was promoted to Vice President of Operations and Strategy. Prevailion offers a predictive platform for advanced cyberdefense and third-party risk built around compromise-detection sensor technology. The sensors help public and private entities proactively anticipate and defend against cyberattacks and minimize third-party risks. The technology can detect compromised data within an organization and its supply chain without touching the organization’s network. It can determine who was responsible for a compromise and show when and how it took place, and can accurately predict when a compromised organization will experience an information breach. Led by Founder and CEO Karim Hijazi, the company will use the funds to accelerate product and business development for its technology platform.
