Signal Sciences

CEO: Andrew Peterson

As web applications change more rapidly than ever before – and open the door to more security issues – Signal Sciences is looking to help companies keep pace across DevOps, cloud adoption, development and security workflows. The company's web protection platform is infrastructure agnostic and can be deployed in multiple ways – including as a next-generation web application firewall, runtime application self-protection, or reverse proxy – to analyze application traffic and detect and block attacks using its cloud analysis engine. The company landed $15 million in funding in May and was named a "2017 Cool Vendor" by Gartner.
