FUNDING Cyemptive closed a Series A financing round of $3.5 million from private investors. The company plans to deploy the funding to accelerate the introduction of its cybersecurity product suite for businesses and government entities. Based on proprietary, patented technology, Cyemptive's offerings range from endpoint protection that eliminates the risk of a ransomware attack to advanced perimeter firewalls that include automatic troubleshooting, self-healing recovery and more. "Emerging threats tied to cybersecurity stand to affect businesses and government operations dramatically in the near future," said Rob Pike, Cyemptive's founder andCEO. "We're approaching the problem from a completely different perspective than others in the market, with a focus on ensuring networks and files remain in a known good state at all times. Instead of relying solely on looking for known threats or leveraging machine learning to try to find unwanted activity, we disallow actions that would corrupt a system or encrypt a file in the first place." LEADERSHIP The company's leadership team is comprised of widely respected senior technology and operations executives from industries tied to cybersecurity:
RECOGNITION FROM DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (DHS) In a first event of its kind, the Department of Homeland Security's Border Security Technology Consortium (BSTC) held a competition to get exposure to the latest innovations around security.
