Netography, an independent network security platform, has secured $2.6m in its seed round of funding.
American private equity firm Andreessen Horowitz was sole investor to the round.
San Francisco-based startup aims to help security and network teams by leveraging a wide breadth of real-time data produced by network devices to automatically detect and block malicious activity. The platform combines an enterprise’s existing data, with cloud processing, software and algorithms to identify early indicators of an attack, and automatically respond.
The platform will be made fully available in the second quarter of 2019.
Netography CEO Barrett Lyon said, “After years of studying the evolving landscape, and building so many platforms, we realized the answer was right in front of us.
“Flying blind from both a network operations and security perspective is almost criminal in this day and age of so much information. The era of ‘capture everything’ is in the past and now we can remotely solve these problems that first generation network traffic analyzers, DLP, and SIEM tools have struggled to address.”
Earlier in the month, Andreessen Horowitz led the $250m Series E funding round of unified analytics platform Databricks. The investment round values the company at $2.75bn.
Cybersecurity teams can use the data and analytics tools to identify potential threats and tackle any risk at an accelerated rate.
