A couple of New England Cybersecurity companies have rapidly rising profiles:

Waltham MA based Cryptzone, a provider of dynamic, context-aware network, application and
content security solutions, recently unveiled its next-generation product at this year’s RSA
Conference - the top cybersecurity conference held in San Francisco. “With the proliferation of
cyberattacks, organizations are increasingly seeking out trusted partners who can provide them
with a layered approach to security to stop attackers at every vulnerable organizational entry
point,” said Kurt Mueffelmann, President and CEO at Cryptzone. “We are honored to be
recognized for efforts to resolve multi-faceted and layered issues that security has presented for
today’s organizations.”

SnoopWall, headquartered in Nashua NH, is the top listed mobile device security company
listed on the Cybersecurity 500. SnoopWall is the world's first counterveillance software
development company focused on helping consumers and enterprises protect their privacy on
all of their computing devices, including smartphones, tablets and laptops, through deep
integration with high value mobile applications, smart devices and the Internet of things (IoT).
"Mobile-device security will become the top requirement this year for mobile banks, retailers and
wallets as they move all their transactions into our space," says Gary Miliefsky, CEO at
SnoopWall. "That's why we developed our SDK, to provide protection for their apps against the
hundreds of millions of pieces of undetectable malware disguised as free trustworthy apps --
just waiting to steal valuable personally identifiable information in the blink of an eye."

New England's major players continue to make waves in the Cybersecurity space:

Cloud application security company Veracode in Burlington MA is planning to go public in May,
according to Fortune. Veracode has raised over $110 million in venture capital funding. Its most
recent round was a $40 million Series F infusion last September led by Wellington
Management.

Defense contractor Raytheon in Waltham, MA is investing $1.57 billion to create a new
cybersecurity company with private-equity firm Vista Equity Partners LLC. The new firm will
combine Raytheon Co.’s cyber products unit with Websense Inc. (San Diego, CA), which
Raytheon agreed to acquire from Vista.

Akamai Technologies has acquired Xerocole (Boulder, CO), a DNS platform provider.

Venture funding is flowing in to some hot cybersecurity companies in New England:

Sqrrl, based in Cambridge, MA, a provider of big data analytics for identifying and responding to
cyber threats, raises $7 million in Series B, led by Rally Ventures, joined by Atlas Venture and
Matrix Partners. The company also unveiled new software aimed at detecting and responding to
cybersecurity threats. Total funding to date is now $14.2 million.
