Hexadite, a service provider of cyber security solutions, has officially launched and positioned itself to compete in a rather crowded industry.
Starting today, Hexadite will be providing cyber security assistance using military-grade technology that has never been used for the purpose before. Eran Barak, co-founder and CEO of Hexadite, claims that its services enables customers to handle cyber securities 95 percent faster.
“We found that in the time it takes to identify an attack, you were already affected by the virus in the system — this was the problem,” said Barak. “It may take days, even weeks, to identify an attack. We understood that once we could shorten the gap from the time the virus entered the system to the time it was identified, we would give the organization an advantage. This is why we established Hexadite.”
Barak went on to explain that Hexadite is not about preventing cyber attacks but about addressing them quickly and efficiently once they have been identified.
Hexadite works with a range of large scale enterprises, as well as government agencies and technology businesses.
Today, it is one of many cyber security providers attempting to protect businesses from the impact of unexpected attacks. Mandiant, which also offers incident response management solutions, will be one of Hexadite’s biggest competitors. The company, which was just acquired by FireEye, provides services to more than 1,500 customers in similar industries.
Hexadite is located in Tel Aviv, Israel, and has plans to expand into the U.S. with the establishment of a new office in the near future. In the coming months, the company will be investing more in research and development and will concentrate on expansion, Barak said.
