Solebit (acquired By Mimecast)

Solebit LABS is a global provider of breakthrough cybersecurity solutions that prevents advanced cyber-attacks. Zero-day based threats and targeted attacks continue to grow at an exponential rate. Those attacks are initially carried out by weaponized files with sophisticated code hidden within data items such as Office documents, PDF and image files.

Attackers continue developing techniques that do not appear malicious and current modern solutions such as sandboxes can be easily evaded and bypassed. Sandboxing also has severe speed limitations, therefor making the technology un-fitting for deployment on large scale environments. Based on a fact that code should not be in data, Solebit provides a unique approach aimed at avoiding a cat-and-mouse game between attackers and defenders where the attackers always
