About Bit9
Bit9 is the pioneer and leader in Enterprise Application Whitelisting. The company's patented solutions ensure only trusted and authorized applications are allowed to run on Windows computers, eliminating the risk caused by malicious, illegal and unauthorized software.
Unlike traditional, reactive endpoint security solutions that scan and try to prevent the never-ending list of unauthorized software, Bit9 leverages the Bit9 Global Software Registry™ - the world's largest database of software intelligence - to ensure only authorized applications can run, delivering the highest levels of endpoint security, compliance, and manageability. Bit9's global customers include companies in a wide variety of industries, such as retail, financial services, healthcare, e-commerce, education, and government agencies.
Founded in 2002, Bit9 was awarded a prestigious $2M federal research grant in 2003 from the National Institute of Standards and Technology-Advanced Technology Program (NIST ATP) to conduct the research that is now at the core of our application whitelisting solutions. The company is venture funded by the top venture capital firms in the United States, including Kleiner Perkins, Caufield & Byers, Atlas Venture, Highland Capital Partners and .406 Ventures.
Bit9 is privately held and based in Waltham, Massachusetts.
