About Indeni

Indeni, established in 2009 by Yoni Leitersdorf, operates as a security infrastructure automation company. The founder's journey is rooted in a long-standing passion for automation, which began with coding at the age of six and was later solidified through extensive experience in computer software and information security. Leitersdorf's background includes service in the esteemed Israeli Defense Forces' Unit 8200, where he led a team of programmers, and a role at Check Point Software Technologies, all of which culminated in the creation of Indeni to address challenges in network operations.

The company's core business revolves around a platform that automates health and compliance checks for network security infrastructure. It serves network operations (NetOps) teams by helping them assure the health of critical appliances such as firewalls, load balancers, and secure web proxies from vendors like Check Point, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, and F5. Indeni's business model is centered on providing this platform to enterprises to prevent network downtime and service disruptions before they impact business operations. A key aspect of its offering is a crowd-sourced knowledge base, where automation scripts and best practices are curated from a global community of certified IT professionals, turning collective expertise into executable code.

The Indeni platform functions by continuously connecting to network and security devices to run collection scripts via SSH and APIs. It analyzes device configurations, metrics, and logs to proactively detect issues, misconfigurations, and potential failures. When a problem is identified, the platform provides alerts with detailed, actionable remediation steps, enabling even junior staff to resolve complex issues. A distinct feature is its Auto-Triage capability, which automates the initial diagnostic steps a trained administrator would perform, significantly reducing troubleshooting time. The platform also offers a product called Cloudrail to review infrastructure-as-code files, identifying security violations early in the development lifecycle. In June 2023, Indeni was acquired by BlueCat, a provider of DDI (DNS, DHCP, and IP address management) software, to enhance BlueCat's platform by integrating proactive network health assessment capabilities.
