HBGary Founder Launches New Security Startup
A new security startup co-founded by former HBGary CEO Greg Hoglund emerged from stealth today with a security-as-a-service based endpoint threat detection and incident response tool that operates without a software agent on the client machine.
Outlier Security's new Agentless Endpoint Threat Detection and Response (ETDR) offering builds on Hoglund's previous experience and work in endpoint forensic investigation. "The endpoint is a treasure trove of forensic evidence... It has all this evidence of what's really going on," says Hoglund, CEO of Outlier. "But there's been this gap where once you have an event, you need to go to the end node and do an investigation to validate that event. That's being done manually and it doesn't scale. Things are being missed, and there are a large number of false positives."
