Presenter Profile:
How they describe themselves: GreatHorn has created a new way of securing cloud communications infrastructure by providing automated threat detection and response for email, messaging, and collaboration tools – unified in a single platform. By using automated data science techniques to assess trust during users’ interaction within these tools, rather than attempting to block malicious attacks at the perimeter, GreatHorn has established a modern cybersecurity model for enterprises that have embraced cloud technologies for their core business applications.
How they describe their product/innovation: GreatHorn provides enterprises with comprehensive, cloud-native protection against message-based threats, driven by machine learning and automated response capabilities. Architected and built for the cloud, GreatHorn’s Inbound Email Security platform uniquely provides the ability to identify and shut down highly targeted attacks before damage occurs, without the overhead or risk of a traditional network routing solution and without the limitations of perimeter blocking.
