TopSpin Security

TopSpin Security is a leading developer of cutting edge devices providing advanced malware deception and detection technology.

TopSpin was founded in 2012, to provide an effective solution to the rapidly emerging generation of focused corporate network attacks, built to penetrate specific organizations and controlled by remote command and control (CnC’s). The new generation of focused attacks that prompted the formation of TopSpin is characterized by being far more sophisticated than the generic attacks that have influenced security activity for years, mainly in the area of firewalls, IDS/IPS and antiviruses. These new attacks, often termed APT’s - advanced persistent threats - are developed with a specific organization in mind. They are backed by big money and the motives behind them include stealing of secret information, industrial espionage and theft of intellectual property, business plans and customer lists. Furthermore, they easily circumvent the security technologies that were previously considered sufficient. The damage caused by APT’s has been extensive, with cases being reported worldwide. Attacks can go unnoticed for 6 months or more and large and small organizations are being hit. Familiar with the limitations of existing security products, the company set out also to establish a modus operandi for the new product that would eliminate false positives and bring the relevant information to the administrators, minimizing the analysis and the time required to manage the system.
