Nomination Highlights

Lastline is innovating the way companies detect active breaches caused by advanced persistent threats, targeted attacks and evasive advanced malware. We have seen tremendous customer growth on a global scale since our product introduction in 2013, and the company has over 33 million protected enterprise users as of September 2016.

Our extraordinarily deep roots in cybersecurity research, decades of combined academic and industry experience, and unwavering dedication to enterprise cyber-security are the driving forces behind every Lastline innovation and advantage. Lastline Enterprise was built by the creators of Anubis and Wepawet, who have pioneered novel malware detection techniques, together with industry veterans with decades of experience focused specifically on advanced breach weaponry and tactics.

Three of Lastline’s founders are among the top 10 most influential researchers in security according to Microsoft Academic Davide Balzarotti, professor at EURECOM, who ranks #1 Christopher Kruegel, #4 Giovanni Vigna and #7 Engin Kirda (http://s3.eurecom.fr/~balzarot/notes/top4/index.html).
