CurrentSpherical Defense applies representation learning to the problem of application-level anomaly and intrusion detection. The goal of the company is to address three customer pain points, specifically: alert fatigue, low visibility and the high maintenance costs associated with existing application-level security systems.To accomplish this, the company has built the only anomaly detection system on the market that focuses on tree-structured data, such as JSON and XML, which forms the mainstay of communication protocol at levels of a system (API, SysCall and East-west).Additionally, the detection system understands user sessions and workflows to get contextual actionable insights user traffic and motivation. Spherical Defense's technology can be deployed either in a passive offline mode or in an active, inline mode to block threats in real-time. Spherical Defense is comprised of researchers from Oxford, Cambridge and Berkeley Labs, who have published over 50 academic papers between them - including in Nature. They are supported by a team of engineers from Google, Sky and Amazon. Spherical Defense was in the first intake into the GCHQ cyber accelerator and is supported by Cylon.
