Israeli Cyber Security Startup PerimeterX Raises $12M

April 12, 2016 | Israeli cyber security company PerimeterX has raised $12 million. No details were disclosed about the investors. Based in Tel Aviv and San Mateo, California, PerimeterX provides scalable, behavior-based threat protection technology for the web, cloud and mobile. The company today introduced a new security service: PerimeterX Bot Defender, which uses behavioral fingerprinting technology to accurately detect and defend websites from all types of automated attacks. Unlike other security solutions which place a proxy between a customer and a website adding latency and complexity to the network, PerimeterX can detect and stop any automated threats with integration that is as simple as adding a JavaScript tag. PerimeterX was founded in late 2014 by CEO Omri Luz, CTO Ido Safruti and CFO Ophir Ashkenazi, all former executives at mobile app acceleration company Cotendo.
