Seculert operates an elastic data net that detects back doors and malware by monitoring botnet traffic and looking for customers' IP addresses within botnets. When relevant data is found it is sent to the Seculert cloud and customers access findings via a web-based dashboard, email alerts, or APIs. The platform lets customers upload logs from other security tools (for example Blue Coat or Squid) and analyzes them with Hadoop-based analytics to identify advanced threats. Rather than focusing on endpoint protection, Seculert emphasizes relationships in aggregated data from multiple sources to surface attacks that previously went undetected. The company integrates services within its cloud to provide differentiated analytics and threat detection capabilities. Financially, the company has raised multiple rounds and continues to expand its cloud-based offering to customers. Seculert is an Israeli software-as-a-service company that provides cloud-based botnet and advanced threat detection. Its service monitors botnet traffic and looks for customers' IP addresses inside botnets to detect backdoors and previously undetected malware. When it finds relevant data it uploads it to the Seculert Cloud and exposes it via a secure web-based dashboard, email alerts, and RESTful APIs. Customers can upload log files (for example Blue Coat or Squid) to be analyzed with Hadoop for additional advanced persistent threat detection. The company raised a $5.35 million funding round led by Norwest Venture Partners and had received an undisclosed seed round in 2010. Seculert plans to open a Bay Area office and add staff to further develop its technology.
