Overview

TrueFort provides a zero trust security solution that analyzes each application to determine normal behavior and flags deviations. The platform collects telemetry across networks, endpoints, servers and third‑party partners, and ingests partner data such as CrowdStrike. Customers can deploy the solution on‑prem or in the cloud today, and TrueFort is preparing a SaaS offering to launch in the coming months. The company reported massive revenue growth—650% year‑over‑year in 2020 and 120% year‑over‑year so far this year. TrueFort has 60 employees and plans to grow the headcount to roughly 85–90 by year end while emphasizing diversity in hiring. The business was founded in 2015 by Sameer Malhotra and Nazario Parsacala. TrueFort delivers application behavior security analytics that monitor over 100 end-to-end interdependencies to baseline application behavior and detect malicious activity as it happens. Its platform provides 360-degree monitoring across web servers, application servers, file servers, databases and more across data centers, public and private clouds, IaaS, containers and mesh architectures. The system can automatically block activities, processes, identities and IP addresses that fall outside each application's operating parameters. TrueFort integrates with leading security and infrastructure vendors to simplify adoption and extend existing technology investments whether applications are on-premises or in the cloud. Its technology is built on high-performance transaction processing architectures used in financial services and other compute-intensive industries. The founding team has deep banking and security experience and the company plans to use new funding to expand sales, marketing, R&D, customer support and go-to-market activities.
