View the press release: To see what’s new, visit In response to the increasing sophistication of modern malware, frequency of targeted attacks and cost of resulting security breaches, today’s enterprises are making major investments in a wide variety of threat detection technologies and security intelligence feeds. Too many of these solutions, however, leave the all-important next step of actually containing the detected threats from having an impact as an exercise for the organization’s IT security team. The result is a costly situation where, despite knowing about threats in a timely manner, enterprises are still suffering from materially significant security incidents as compromised systems continue to wreak havoc until a separate, manually initiated response process is executed. The NetCitadel Threat Response Platform solves this problem by automating the threat response process, leveraging an organization’s existing security devices and policy enforcement infrastructure to enable real-time mitigation of security events as they are uncovered. By substantially reducing the time and effort required to respond to detected threats, the NetCitadel Threat Response Platform effectively slams the door on modern malware and targeted attacks, preventing data loss and protecting against future infections of other users. Headquartered in Mountain View, Calif, NetCitadel is venture-backed by NEA and other investors. For more information about NetCitadel and its solutions, call (650) 564-4285 or visit
