BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ObserveIT, the leading insider threat management provider with more than 1,800 customers around the world, today announced significant growth and product innovation, reflecting increasing global demand for ObserveIT’s insider threat management solution. The company unveiled the latest version of its solution, ObserveIT 7.6, and experienced the largest bookings quarter in the company’s history, with a 80% increase in bookings over the last 15 months, several sizable customer wins and industry accolades.
Milestones achieved during Q3 include a $33 million Series B funding round, four deals over $1 million with Fortune 500 brands, and the appointment of NightDragon Security Founder Dave DeWalt as vice chairman of the board of directors.
ObserveIT 7.6 includes the addition of FAM (File Activity Monitoring), a unique solution for data exfiltration detection and prevention. FAM detects potentially suspicious data exfiltration attempts by providing full visibility into any file sent via web, email, social media and cloud storage with a single lightweight user mode agent. Further, FAM provides complete context of user interactions with files such as rename, copy, delete and move from start to finish. Other notable new features within ObserveIT 7.6 include an enhanced timeline view of all user and file activity across all platforms such as Windows, Mac, Linux and virtualized environments such as Citrix to decrease time to investigate security incidents. This release enhances ObserveIT’s reporting and anonymization capabilities to comply with GDPR compliance.
ObserveIT also received notable industry recognition in the third quarter, validating its position as the leader in insider threat management. For example, the company was recognized as a Security Solution Provider of the Year by the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards, and was also selected for two Cyber Defense 2018 Global Awards in the “Cutting Edge Insider Threat Detection” and “Best Product Insider Threat Prevention” categories. ObserveIT was also named one of the top six Boston-based cybersecurity companies within the “50 on Fire” list by BostInno.
