Bringing XDR to Application Security
After inventing the XDR (Extended Detection and Response) category at LightCyber and Palo Alto Networks, Giora Engel with co-founder Ziv Sivan brings a new approach to application security.
In a cloud-based economy, APIs are the next frontier for security vulnerabilities and attacks. Companies expose full business logic, process, and secrets via APIs. Transactions and money flow through APIs, and traditional security solutions don’t even see them.
Application security is ripe for disruption. Neosec is a new intelligent application security platform based on data and behavioral analytics. Neosec is the XDR equivalent for API security.
