Receiving a surge of phishing emails daily? You're not alone.
Phishing has regrettably cemented its place as the foremost cyberattack, costing an astonishing average of $4.91M per breach. The introduction of AI tools like ChatGPT arms malicious actors with the capability to craft phishing emails that seem truly genuine. As these threats evolve, our defenses must too.
Enter UpSight Security, poised with a unique advantage in detecting and stopping AI-assisted attacks. While most Endpoint Detection Response (EDR) solutions lean heavily on observing attack patterns and human intervention, UpSight distinguishes itself by analyzing billions of endpoint device events daily. It swiftly identifies and anticipates threats.
But UpSight does more than just predict. With a mission to Predict, Interdict, and Evict, UpSight harnesses an advanced AI attack language model in tandem with an AI-based threat graph. The result? They not only foresee attackers' strategies but act decisively, neutralizing them and reversing their methods.
At its essence, UpSight marries cloud technology with machine learning, providing a vigilant watch over system behaviors. This keen observation ensures real-time threat identification and mitigation – even preempting malware assaults.
Oregon Venture Fund is thrilled to be an early investor in UpSight Security, alongside Accomplice, a Boston based VC fund with successes like AngelList, Carbon Black and seasoned security operators that include Patrick Morley, the founder/CEO of Carbon Black, an end point security platform acquired by VMware for $2.1B in 2019.
UpSight founders Tracy Camp and Slavie Vassilev bring over a decade of shared security experience from McAfee to Carbon Black. The company recently added Richard Robitaille-Muffler - from ESET, Cylance, and Secureworks - as chief product officer and will add others in the near future.
UpSight Security represents the convergence of timing, innovation, and a team equipped to handle emerging cyber threats. In a digital battleground where AI attackers benefit from vast automation capabilities, UpSight's AI-driven defense ensures the scales are balanced and levels the playing field.
