A big thank you to our customers, team, investors, and partners who believed in us from the beginning, especially Kevin Mandia who backed us as an angel from the start.

We believe the future of cybersecurity is identity-driven, and our team has brought this vision to life by working closely with our customers to detect and stop the adversary from compromising production environments (AWS, GCP, K8s, GitHub, etc.) at scale.

Excited to announce ClearVector's $13M Series A led by Scale Venture Partners (Ariel Tseitlin), with participation from Okta Ventures (Austin Arensberg), Inner Loop Capital (Justin Label) and existing investor Menlo Ventures (Tim Tully)! 🎉

As mentioned in our post, we've seen techniques where native cloud provider capabilities are used to encrypt bucket contents - ez to quickly attribute the activity to a specific identity, and move to isolate both the identity and the bucket! Anyone have alternate approaches?

This is why I believe that identity is the future - it's the only way to give defenders a strategic advantage against the adversary. 🥷

Once posted, I highly recommend watching the talk "How AWS scales active defense". Excited to see AWS talking in depth about security at scale!

One point - close to 30% of the intel they gather with this system turns over after 2-3 minutes - this is also my personal experience, and is what we continue to see with threat intel in prod environments - if you use a feed of traditional threat intel, it's likely not providing significant value. 💎

📣Back from AWS re:Invent - one of the most interesting talks was from Stephen Goodman and Eric Brandwine. In short, AWS uses honeypot tech at scale in their dark/unused IP space to identify and then stop adversaries from targeting customers on AWS.

Awesome new AWS release of RCPs - with cross account sharing of different resources (secrets, ddb tables, etc), this is 100% needed. Without RCPs, it's easy to make a mistake or for an adversary to easily steal data cross account!
