Secdo Inc. is a cyber-security firm founded in 2014.[1][2][3] It provides an Incident Response platform for security and IR teams that automates the IR process and shortens incident response time.[4][5][6] The company is based in New York and as of 2017, it has raised $13 million in the venture capital funding.[7]

History

The firm was founded in 2014 by Shai Morag and Gil Barak,[8][9] graduates of the IDF 8200 intelligence unit in the Israeli army.[10] The company raised seed funding of $3 million in 2014, led by Marius Nacht, co-founder and chairman of Checkpoint Technologies, and in December 2016 obtained series A funding of $10 million, led by the RDC VC.[11]

The company was recognized as Cool Vendor in 2016 by the Gartner Research Group.[12]

Platform

The Secdo platform is made up of 3 components that allow organizations to implement an intelligence-driven ‘preemptive’ incident response approach.[13][14] The Secdo agents are deployed on all endpoints and servers and record all activity at the thread level, and store them on a centralized server.[15][16] The causality analysis engine ingests alerts from SIEM and security systems and correlates them with the pre-collected endpoint activity, to provide automatic alert investigation and validation.[17] The platform also provides response and remediation tools, such as IceBlock to suspend processes in memory, isolation a machine and a live remote terminal.[18][19][20]
