About Bit9
Company Overview
Bit9, the pioneer and leader in Enterprise Application Whitelisting, specializes in Advanced Threat Protection to protect organizations from targeted and zero-day attacks. The company's endpoint security solutions provide total visibility and control over all software on endpoints, eliminating the risk caused by malicious, illegal and unauthorized software.
Unlike traditional, reactive security solutions that try to blacklist or ban the never-ending list of unauthorized software, Bit9’s endpoint security solutions, leveraging the Bit9 Global Software Registry™ - the world's largest database of software intelligence - 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.
