Cyber Security Businesses: Solving Challenges Through New Technologies

From everyday transactions to transport planning, as our world becomes more dependent on technology, cybersecurity risks are becoming more common, and more dangerous. 

Luckily, there’s a range of cybersecurity businesses and start-ups attempting to solve this issue through innovative new technologies.

We look at some recent projects and partnering opportunities tackling cybersecurity challenges. 

Antivirus Software From Japan

Established in 2007, a Japanese company has developed security software to detect unknown threats. They have developed a heuristic application consisting of five engines to detect malware and protect users.

These engines include;

• Static analyses
• Sandbox runs programs on a virtual environment
• Dynamic analyses (monitors the behaviour of currently running programs)
• Machine learnings
• Vulnerability attack protection

The advantage of this technology is that it does not depend on pattern files. So far, the programs have detected several major threats and the engines are regularly updated with the latest research and information. In addition, the software requires no signature, a benefit for companies who do not wish to have their data drawn into the cloud.

The company has been very successful in Japan and are now looking to expand into European markets with the help of a partner. Their ideal partner would be an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) company working in Internet Security.

Protecting Data, Assets and Brands Against Global Cyber Attacks
A German company has developed an automated platform to deal with global cybersecurity threats more efficiently.

The technology allows users to;

• Benefit from ad-hoc assistance in emergencies
• Simplify their security processes
• Safely share threat information with a range of stakeholders and organisations

Some of the benefits of this platform include;

• Automated incident response management
• Real-time alerts
• Data fusion on a large scale

The company is now looking for help with the commercialisation of the business. They are seeking European or Asian partners to aid with sales, marketing and delivery.

An Israeli company has developed a new solution to help organisations manage internal and external cyber threats. This real-time technology is available worldwide and offers a reliable, individualised service.
