XM Cyber Launches Automated APT Simulation Platform to Detect Threats

The best hackers are able to stay hidden in a system, looking like legitimate users, and it is these hackers whom cyber-security startup XM Cyber is aiming to expose with its HaXM platform. XM Cyber announced HaXM on March 20, describing it as an automated advanced persistent threat (APT) platform. The company, which is now emerging from stealth, has raised $15 million to date and includes an executive team that has its roots in the Israeli intelligence community. "We established XM Cyber two years ago with veterans of the Israeli intelligence community. Our chairman and president is Tamir Pardo, who is the former head of the Mossad," Noam Erez, CEO of XM Cyber, told eWEEK.
