Phylum is a security-as-code platform that gives security and risk teams more visibility into the code development lifecycle, and the ability to enforce security policy without disrupting innovation. Phylum analyzes open-source software packages as they are published and contextualizes the risks, protecting developers and applications at the perimeter of the open-source ecosystem and the tools used to build source code. The platform can be deployed on endpoints or plug directly into CI/CD pipelines so organizations experience seamless, always-on defense at the earliest stages of a build. In 2022, Phylums analysis of open-source packages identified thousands of new malicious packages, malicious authors, and supply chain risks that culminated in a massive improvement to open-source software and the first inaugural Black Hat Innovation Spotlight award.

Solebit provides the fastest, most accurate and cost-effective approach for the identification and prevention of zero-day malware and unknown threats. SoleGATE is the disruptive cyber protection software platform by Solebit, challenging the norms of currently available technologies that rely on slow, costly and mostly outdated, ineffective methods of sandboxing, signatures and behavioral inspection. The solution is powered by DvC™ (data vs. code), a patented, real-time, signature-less engine. DvC assumes that there is no legitimate reason for executable code to be present in any data file. As such, it does not rely on heuristics or behaviors (which are core limitations of competing technologies), and definitively identifies and terminates any instance of malicious code such as hidden CPU instructions, encrypted and polymorphic payloads, shellcodes and other commands typically buried in data file. DvC also accurately identifies an blocks malicious active content using advanced flow analysis, de-obfuscation techniques and deep content evaluation, to reveal threat intent within any inbound data file covering machine, operating system and application levels, thereby rendering such sandbox evading attacks harmless to the enterprise. Solebit was founded in 2014 by a team of world-class cybersecurity experts, all graduates of the elite technology units in the Israel Defense Forces with years of experience in offensive and defensive security. It counts a variety of leading global financial organizations, tech, defense contractors, security vendors, cloud and telecom service providers as active customers.
