Summary
The recent headlines of massive cyberattacks and ransomware demands shows the problem of security breaches are only increasing while risks from the rise of remote and hybrid working, more cloud services, and ubiquitous use of mobile phones are only growing. Arctic Wolf, an Eden Prairie, Minnesota-based cybersecurity company founded in 2012, is aiming to separate itself from the pack of vendors that are working on reducing the number of breaches. Arctic Wolf seeks to keep companies aware of potential hazards and to deal with security risk problems as an operational issue, not one that can be fixed solely by tools. Its cloud-based platform, built to ingest data from widely used sources across endpoints, networks and clouds to provide automated threat detection and responses and cut down on false alerts, has served banks, hospitals and municipal governments in limiting cyber risks. Last year, Arctic Wolf named Amazon Web Services as its primary cloud provider to power its security operations platform.
