AT&T Cybersecurity is a managed security service provider for network security, extended detection and response, and endpoints. From traditional computing to edge computing, the company focuses on providing strategic services to customers. AT&T Cybersecurity also offers consulting services that are product neutral.


Products

AT&T Cybersecurity offers a paid security platform, called Unified Security Management, that integrates threat detection, incident response, and compliance management into one application.[1] Threat applications are offered via hardware, virtual machines, and as a cloud service.[2] Other services that AT&T provides include network vulnerability scanning, vulnerability assessment, and vulnerability management. The Open Threat Exchange (OTX) allows security experts to research and collaborate on threats, compare data, and integrate threat information into their security systems.[3] A big data platform, OTX uses natural language processing and machine learning.[3]

AT&T Cybersecurity also runs the Open Source Security Information Management (OSSIM) project, which provides computer security, intrusion detection, and response services.[4][5]

Finances

In August 2015, the firm raised $52 million to expand its security business. The round was led by Institutional Venture Partners and included GGV Capital, Kleiner Perkins, Trident Capital, and Jackson Square Ventures.[2][4]

The company added 300 to 400 new clients each quarter, and it hired a Chief Financial Officer to help it prepare for a possible initial public offering (IPO).[2]

By the end of the fiscal year 2016, AlienVault recorded about 53 percent year-over-year sales growth and increased its install base by about 65 percent to approximately 5,000 commercial customers.[6]

Awards

Competitors

AlienVault competes in the SIEM and network security industry against Microfocus ArcSight, IBM QRadar and LogRhythm, among others.[10]
