Verdasys, the leading cyber-security company of content aware Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for endpoints, started in 2003, and has raised $41M to date. Their DLP platform detects and stops the leakage of sensitive data. According to Gartner, Verdasys is a leader in this category, protecting large enterprise customers, and government agencies all over the world. A new CEO just took the helm, having previously worked for McAfee, as the VP and General Manager of Security.
Now that cyber attacks have taken center stage in the technology world, as nation-states, hactivist, and criminal cyber gangs launch attacks on a massive scale against institutions, like never seen before, only means that there’s nothing but huge upside for Verdasys. Their DLP Platform is called Digital Guardian, and is a comprehensive platform that integrates with other leading security platforms such as FireEye. Their mission is to complete the security picture, and protect endpoints devices and everything in between.
