Radware picks up Seculert for improved big data analytics, machine learning - SiliconANGLE

Distributed denial of service protection firm Radware Ltd. has acquired cloud-based security firm Seculert for an undisclosed sum. Founded in 2012, Seculert offers a software-as-a-service security platform that aims to fill gaps left by legacy perimeter defense and breach detection systems. It claims to protect enterprises from advanced threats by focusing on malicious outbound network traffic. The company's platform combines big data analytics, machine learning technology and behavioral analysis to provide visibility on the final two stages of the malware kill chain. Seculert's Javelin service is claimed to be the first inside-out attack simulation and remediation service that allows enterprises to determine how well their secure web gateway, next-generation firewalls or proxy would do at preventing real world malicious malware attacks from succeeding in communicating with their perpetrator's command and control servers.
