Seculert
Seculert is a cybersecurity company that provides cloud-based analytics for detecting, validating, and tracking advanced threats targeting enterprise networks.
- Cloud-native malware detection and analysis for enterprise environments (security analytics)
- Behavior-based analysis of outbound traffic to identify infected endpoints and accounts (network security)
- Use of big data analytics and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to detect advanced and evasive threats (security analytics)
- Continuous monitoring and validation of breaches with focus on targeted and persistent attacks (threat detection)
- Integration with existing security infrastructure such as secure web gateways and firewalls (security operations)
More About Seculert
Seculert focuses on cloud-delivered threat detection and analytics designed for enterprise and institutional networks that face targeted and persistent attacks. Its platform analyzes outbound traffic and other telemetry to identify compromised endpoints and accounts, including threats that bypass traditional perimeter defenses. By delivering capabilities as a cloud service, Seculert reduces dependency on on-premises (on-prem) appliances and enables organizations to apply analytics at scale across distributed environments.
The company’s offerings operate in the security analytics and network security categories, with an emphasis on advanced threat detection, breach validation, and malware analysis. Seculert examines network communication patterns and behavior, including HTTP/S and other common protocols, to flag suspicious activity indicative of command-and-control communication, data exfiltration, or lateral movement. ML techniques and big data processing are used to correlate events across large volumes of traffic and multiple customers, which can help surface threats that may appear low-noise or benign when viewed in isolation.
Enterprises typically position Seculert alongside or on top of existing security controls, such as secure web gateways (network security), firewalls (network security), and endpoint security tools. Rather than replacing these products, Seculert adds a cloud analytics layer that ingests logs or traffic data from them to perform additional detection and validation. This deployment approach allows security teams to extend detection capabilities without major changes to network architecture, while still using familiar components and workflows inside Security Operations (SecOps) centers.
Architecturally, Seculert relies on log collection or traffic redirection from existing infrastructures into its cloud platform, where data is normalized, stored, and processed. The platform uses statistical models, behavioral baselining, and pattern matching to identify outliers associated with malware, botnets, and targeted intrusions. When suspicious activity is detected, Seculert generates alerts and investigative context that security analysts can use to validate and respond to incidents. Integration points can include API-based connections, log forwarding via standard protocols, and support for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) products (security operations) for centralized monitoring.
From a marketplace taxonomy perspective, Seculert fits into cloud-based security analytics, advanced threat detection, and breach detection categories. Organizations use it to improve visibility into infections and attacks that evade signature-based tools and to validate whether suspected compromises are active. Its focus on outbound traffic and cloud analytics positions it as a complement to perimeter security, endpoint protection platforms, and SIEM deployments, particularly in environments with distributed users, branch offices, and hybrid network architectures.
