Neosec (Formerly Apiseq)

Cybersecurity · Milpitas, United States · Founded 2020

A cloud-based security platform that uses big-data, AI, and behavioral analytics to reveal hidden API abuse MoreLess

Neosec is a forward-thinking startup specializing in application security, with a particular focus on protecting APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). APIs are the backbone of modern digital interactions, enabling different software systems to communicate with each other. Neosec's platform is designed to secure these critical components by using advanced techniques known as XDR (Extended Detection and Response). This approach, initially developed by the company's founders at LightCyber and Palo Alto Networks, involves collecting and analyzing data to detect and respond to threats.

Neosec serves a wide range of clients, primarily those operating in cloud-based environments where APIs are extensively used. This includes industries like finance, healthcare, and e-commerce, where the security of data transactions is paramount. The company operates in the cybersecurity market, which is rapidly growing due to increasing digital transformation and the corresponding rise in cyber threats.

The business model of Neosec is based on a cloud-native platform that integrates seamlessly with a client's existing API activity data. This means companies do not need to install additional software or hardware, making it easy to deploy. Neosec makes money by offering subscription-based services, where clients pay for continuous access to their security platform. This model ensures a steady revenue stream and allows for scalability as clients' needs grow.

Neosec's platform provides several key services: it inventories all APIs to identify which ones are risky, uses behavioral analytics to understand and reveal threats, and helps security and development teams work together to mitigate these risks. By offering these services, Neosec helps companies prevent business logic abuse and other security breaches that could have severe financial and reputational consequences.

In summary, Neosec is revolutionizing application security by focusing on API protection through a cloud-native, easy-to-deploy platform that uses advanced data analytics to detect and respond to threats.
