Stealth Start up Javelin Networks named a Cool Vendor by Gartner


Javelin Networks, neutralizes attackers invading the Enterprise by camouflaging the entire real network topology without business or IT Disruption, announced today it has been included in the May 6 Cool Vendors in Digital Workplace Security, 2016 report by Gartner (News - Alert), Inc.

Attackers are already inside the network and Targeted attacks are the number one biggest security challenge today for Enterprises and in order for attacks to be successful, attackers need a very important key component - the knowledge of the Enterprise's internal topology: the critical servers, key users and endpoints. Once they're in, they begin collecting the knowledge and planning their next move based on what they've discovered. It is impossible to prevent attackers from collecting this knowledge since it's not considered a malicious act and therefore, can't be discovered. Javelin Networks takes a different approach than many solutions on the market - simply taking the knowledge away from attackers by masking the entire real network topology without agents, or additional network hardware.

Founded by Roi Abutbul, Guy Franco and Almog Ohayon, Javelin Networks is led by Security and Computer Networking experts, veterans of top Israeli intelligence corps, Cisco (News - Alert) and OFEK, the Israeli air force tech unit. "We saw a pressing need for a proactive, authentic and seamless, post-breach detection solution that support endless amounts of traffic and drives only high fidelity alerts." said Roi Abutbul, CEO and Co-Founder of Javelin Networks.

With Javelin Network's "Infinite (News - Alert) Deception System," the odds are flipped on the attacker because most of the assts are fake. If the attacker uses any of the decoy entries created by Javelin, the system will automatically alert, thwarting the attack before any damage is done.



Each year, Gartner identifies new Cool Vendors in Digital Workplace Security and publishes a series of research reports evaluating their products and services.

Javelin Networks is working closely with Flagship key design customers and sees the Cool Vendor recognition as confirmation of its unique solution, adding momentum towards the company's official launch.
