“The creation of this Cybersecurity Excellence Award highlights the critical importance of threat hunting,” said CEO Mark Terenzoni. “The fact that we were the first-ever company to win an award in the new threat hunting category is a recognition of Sqrrl’s thought and product leadership in this emerging space. We’re proud to be at the forefront of an industry that is empowering firms to take the fight to the adversary.”
According to a recent survey of over 330 security executives, nearly 80% said that threat hunting already is, or should be, a top-level initiative in 2017. “Tools such as Sqrrl’s Threat Hunting Platform, make it feasible for any organization to start proactively searching and weeding out threats in their network” said CEO Mark Terenzoni. The survey also revealed that Security Operations Centers (SOCs) deploying threat hunting platforms have reported substantial gains in their ability to detect and investigate threats.
