Morphisec offers an endpoint protection service that uses a moving target defense technique to continually change system security parameters and thwart cyberattacks. The approach enables a form of zero-trust defense that reduces the need for deep security expertise among employees. Morphisec automates security and works to augment existing security tools, including a partnership to make Windows 10 security features easier for clients to use. The company says it is currently protecting 7 million endpoints. Demand has grown during the pandemic as mid-sized companies accelerate cloud migration and digital transformation. Morphisec plans to use its latest funding to expand its team in the U.S. and Israel, positioning to scale support and deployment for mid-market customers.
