Israeli security startup ThetaRay promises to detect zero-day attacks, hidden APTs and other threats in seconds by simultaneously analyzing all security and operational data sources.
 
Detecting new and unknown threats is one of the most difficult tasksfor information security professionals. Mathematicians Amir Averbuch and Ronald Coifman spent 10 years developing a method of detection based on analyzing large volumes of data. The Big Data technology that resulted from their research will soon become available thanks to ThetaRay, a startup founded in 2013 to bring the product to market.
"This was a mathematical problem that was considered unsolvable, but these two mathematicians proved it was possible," explained Mark Gazit, the CEO who was brought in to get ThetaRay off the ground. "They have developed algorithms and have incorporated them into a product which successfully identifies unknown threats."
The product produces false positives two orders of magnitude less frequently than other detection products, he said.
