"Government agencies are prime targets of today's cyber security attacks. Securonix works closely with the public sector to provide state-of-the-art security analytics that predict, prevent, detect and respond to threats," said Securonix CEO Sachin Nayyar.

Securonix Enterprise is a behavior-based security and fraud analytics platform that analyzes and correlates event logs from hundreds of sources, devices and applications across the entire IT infrastructure -- including cloud, mobile and big data platforms. It uses sophisticated algorithms to analyze all interactions between users, machines and data to detect insider and external cyber threats. The primary use cases delivered by Securonix Enterprise include the rapid detection of data exfiltration, privilege abuse and malware infections.

The company's success in the public sector is no surprise, given that its advisory board boasts some of the most influential security leaders from the Federal government. Former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, former Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell, former Chief Information Officer of the U.S. Intelligence Community Patrick Gorman, and former NSA Deputy Director Chris Inglis are all members of the Securonix Board of Strategic Advisors. Together with the CEO, they play a critical role helping the company scale, deliver its technology to market, and win the war against cyber crime with solutions that solve the most complex security problems.
