Invincea, Inc (formerly Secure Command, LLC) is a venture backed software company that provides malware threat detection, prevention, and pre-breach forensic intelligence.[1]
History
Founded in 2006, by Anup Ghosh, the company is headquartered Fairfax, Virginia. Major investors include Dell Ventures, New Atlantic Ventures, Grotech Ventures, Aeris Capital & Harbert Venture Partners.[2]
In 2012, Invincea used a $21 million grant from DARPA to improve the security of the US military's Android-based devices such as tablet PCs and smart phones. The Invincea software secures data from unauthorized access and protects the device from malicious applications.[3]
In June 2013, Dell announced an OEM partnership with Invincea and began shipping a new endpoint security solution dubbed “Dell Data Protection | Protected Workspace” on all of its commercial tablets and PCs worldwide.[4]
In December, 2013, Invincea acquired Sandboxie for an undisclosed amount. Sandboxie is a pioneer in the Windows Containment and sandboxing market, making it a logical addition to Invincea’s technology portfolio.[5]
In May, 2016 Invincea launched X by Invincea. X protects endpoints by detecting and blocking known and unknown malware—without signatures in real-time. X combines deep learning, which is an advanced form of machine learning, behavioral analysis and isolation technology in one lightweight agent. These technologies work together to provide better threat prevention without any negative impact on the workforce. The technology is built based on years of co-development with DARPA. Using this technology, X can determine if a file is malicious, even if that file has never been seen before. X also provides needed visibility to security teams without overwhelming them with data or requiring additional resources.[citation needed]
