Venture Capital News: Uplevel Security Grabs $2.5M
2016-10-25
NEW YORK, NY, Uplevel Security raised $2.5M in funding from First Round Capital, Aspect Ventures, and others, and unveiled today the industry's first adaptive incident response platform.
Uplevel Security's unique technology uses graph intelligence to process each incoming event against a dynamic profile that includes historical attack data, threat intelligence, open source information, and investigation results.
'Enterprises want to fully realize the value of their existing prevention and detection technologies when responding to attacks,' said Roselle Safran, Uplevel CEO and co-founder. 'Uplevel enables this by thoroughly leveraging past findings, present intelligence, and future predictions throughout the response lifecycle.'
Before founding Uplevel, Roselle managed cybersecurity teams at the Executive Office of the President and the Department of Homeland Security. Her co-founder and fellow Princeton alumna, Elisabeth (Liz) Maida, spent over a decade building large-scale, analytical security products at Akamai Technologies. 'Uplevel has applied their extensive expertise in both cybersecurity operations and product development to create a remarkably innovative and impactful solution,' said Chris Fralic, Partner at First Round Capital.
'With cybersecurity increasingly becoming a board-level issue, enterprises are looking for a response product that goes beyond static workflow automation and allows them to understand their specific threat landscape,' said Lauren Kolodny, Principal at Aspect Ventures. 'Uplevel's graph intelligence provides this capability. It's a game changer.' The product is already resonating well with cybersecurity teams. Barely out of stealth mode, Uplevel's customer base already includes a Fortune 500 financial services company.
The key capabilities of the Uplevel platform include:
-Integrated Case and Threat Intelligence Management: Dynamic repository that connects historical and current incidents with internal and external threat intelligence, and enriches and adjusts as new data is added
-Real-Time Action: Automated workflows -- from prioritization to investigation to remediation -- that can change based on the technical characteristics of the attack and past activities
-Predictive Analytics: Link analysis, graph theory computations, and machine learning algorithms that learn from the dynamic intelligence, human-augmented data and operational actions
