Fortscale Experiences Dynamic Growth During 1H 2015
Fortscale
Security Ltd., a pioneer in the growing field of User Behavior
Analytics for enterprise security, today announced it now analyzes more
than 500,000 user accounts globally. The milestone number showcases the
company's continued growth as major companies around the world adopt
Fortscale's User Behavior Analytics solution that identifies suspicious
activity and detects potential breaches. In addition to winning
high-profile customers, several organizations have awarded Fortscale
industry awards as validation of excellence. To ensure continued
success, Fortscale has also rounded out its leadership team adding Bert
Rankin as Chief Marketing Officer and Inbar Ries as Vice President of
Product Management.
"2015 continues to be an amazing year at Fortscale. We have signed
contracts with a number of worldwide brands and are already analyzing
half-a-million users. With an extremely robust pipeline, we expect to
see even faster growth in the second half of the year," said Idan
Tendler, Founder & CEO, Fortscale. "This speaks to a growing
industry-wide awareness surrounding insider threats and an understanding
that user behavior analytics is a key tool in securing enterprises and
protecting their most sensitive data." Fortscale's growth demonstrates a
proven ability to support large scale deployments and generate highly
relevant results. With one of its deployments, Fortscale is now
monitoring more than 100,000 user accounts, with a throughput of nearly
0.5 billion daily events being analyzed. With another customer, from a
sample of 1M user access events, Fortscale discovered 40 high-risk
anomalies that were determined to be highly-valuable by the customer.
During the first half of the year, Fortscale has received wide acclaim
and recognition for its solution. Fortscale was one of ten security
companies and the only security analytics company chosen out of a pool
of almost 100 to showcase
its user behavior analytics solution in the
2015 RSA Conference Innovation Sandbox contest. Fortscale was also
awarded a 2015 Cyber Defense Award for "Most
Innovative Security Solution" from Cyber Defense Magazine,
the industry's leading electronic information security magazine. In
addition, Info Security Products Guide named Fortscale a finalist
for the 11th Annual 2015 Global Excellence Awards in the
"Innovation in Enterprise Security" category. "Independent Industry
awards reflect the significant value that we offer our customers," said
Idan Tendler. "Our data scientists and engineers are continually making
breakthroughs in UBA that will significantly improve security in a
digital world."
