Leading Analyst Firm Identifies Innovative Companies for New Disruptive Approaches to Cybersecurity
BELMONT, Mass.–June 1, 2017–GreatHorn, the cybersecurity solution for cloud communication platforms, today announced it has been named a “Cool Vendor” by leading industry analyst firm Gartner, Inc. GreatHorn’s selection is evaluated in the May 2017 Gartner report, “Cool Vendors in Cloud Security 2017”.
GreatHorn provides enterprises with comprehensive, cloud-native protection against these message-based threats, driven by machine learning and automated response capabilities. Businesses are increasingly adopting cloud-based communication platforms such as Office 365, Google G Suite and Slack for their enhanced collaboration capabilities. However, hackers view these platforms’ features as a major opportunity and are utilizing sophisticated low-volume, highly targeted attacks to fool employees into providing them with access to critical data. GreatHorn’s Inbound Email Security platform uniquely provides the ability to identify and shut down these attacks before damage occurs, without the risk of a traditional network routing solution or the limitations of perimeter blocking.
“We are thrilled to be listed as one of Gartner’s cybersecurity ‘Cool Vendors,’” said GreatHorn CEO Kevin O’Brien. “Traditional anti-spam, anti-malware, and static analysis tools simply are not keeping up with today’s targeted threats — as evidenced by the kinds of global attacks that are reaching millions of users’ inboxes, often in just minutes. GreatHorn drives down the time to both detection and response, and represents a next-generation communication security platform, safeguarding our clients from phishing, business email compromise, spear phishing, ransomware, and even OAuth-based threats more quickly and accurately than any legacy platform.”
