Minerva Labs: A Cybersecurity Start-Up that Gets Ahead of the Game

(Times of Israel) Ruth Starkman - Minerva Labs won the prize for the Most Innovative Cyber Startup at Tel Aviv's 2016 Cybertech convention and won first place at the 2016 Berlin Cyber Security Bootcamp. Minerva Labs has developed novel software that protects systems from focused attacks, co-founder and CEO Eddy Bobritsky explains. Almost all security products are based on a "Detection and Response" paradigm. But the Minerva Armor product neutralizes viruses before the installation phase, before it even starts. "We make the packed malware to 'believe' it is always inside a secure environment, so it refrains from execution and the attack is prevented." Minerva's unique patent-pending solution protects an organization from the deadliest attacks without the need to detect them first or for any prior knowledge and before any damage has been done. Dr. Ruth Starkman teaches at Stanford University.
