NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Uplevel Security today announced it has been named one of 10 finalists for RSA® Conference Innovation Sandbox Contest 2017 for its work in threat intelligence and incident response. On Monday, February 13, 2017, Uplevel Security will showcase its information security technology to the Innovation Sandbox Contest panel of judges for a chance to be named “RSAC Most Innovative Startup 2017.”
The Innovation Sandbox Contest promotes new approaches to information security technology, provides advice and counsel for entrepreneurs, and exposes the RSA Conference community to venture capitalists, industry experts, senior level business practitioners, and thought leaders.
“It’s no secret that past winners of this honor have become successful additions to the information security industry, and there’s no doubt this year’s crop of finalists will produce another hit,” said Sandra Toms, vice president at RSA and curator of RSA Conference. “This event gives startups the kind of visibility and validation that can easily turn into high growth and increased funding, which we expect to continue with this year’s top 10.”
Uplevel provides the industry’s first adaptive response platform. Its patent-pending technology based on graph theory strengthens security posture with every attack or alert by fully leveraging past institutional knowledge and present real-time attack data and intelligence to expedite every step of response and to predict how attacks may manifest in the future.
“Our customers tell us that our ability to correlate their formerly disparate data silos, overlay their threat intelligence, and provide a visual view of an actual incident gives them the power to quickly diagnose and respond,” said Roselle Safran, CEO and co-founder, Uplevel Security.” We apply advanced graph theory to enrich current incidents with historical data and determine whether the incident occurred in the past or if it is still present in their infrastructure.”
Uplevel’s founders, Safran and CTO, Liz Maida, have decades of experience in internet security innovation. Maida most recently developed large-scale, analytical security products at Akamai and explored the application of graph theory to internet security at MIT; Safran led cybersecurity operations for the White House after serving as digital analytics deputy branch chief at the Department of Homeland Security’s US-CERT.
“RSAC Most Innovative Startup 2017” will be determined at the conclusion of the Innovation Sandbox Contest after each finalist gives a short presentation to a panel of judges that includes Asheem Chandna, partner at Greylock Partners; Gerhard Eschelbeck, vice president of security and privacy engineering at Google; Niloofar Razi Howe, senior vice president and chief strategy officer, RSA Corporate; Patrick Heim, head of trust and security at DropBox; and Paul Kocher, president and chief scientist of Cryptography Research division at Rambus.
