"The 4.0 release is a true game changer in the security industry. The addition of external reputation sources to our advanced behavioral and outlier-based algorithms enables organizations to quickly detect advanced targeted attacks and prevent significant damages from data breaches.

In addition, this release provides a new investigation workbench that allows security analysts to visualize cross-channel data linkages and play out threat scenarios," said Tanuj Gulati, the CTO at Securonix.
