Cyber threats are more pervasive now than ever before. In response, tech companies have risen up to develop more agile, powerful and wieldy cybersecurity solutions. But no two security companies are quite the same. In Colorado, where we’re lucky to have a number of major players in the industry, and each one is forging its own unique path toward a more secure digital world.

What they do: Red Canary’s endpoint security services help businesses of all sizes manage the detection and response of cyber threats.
What makes them unique: More than just a SaaS security platform, Red Canary adds a human element by supporting their technology with a team of expert analysts who review every suspicious event to determine what response (if any) is needed.
Where they are: Denver
What they do: ProtectWise delivers enterprise-level cybersecurity through their powerful grid platform that monitors and records network activity.
What makes them unique: The ProtectWise Grid acts as a sort of “security camera” for your network. Companies can retain unlimited forensic data, which allows them to both watch events in real time and rewind back weeks, months and even years to analyze previous security threats.
Where they are: Broomfield
What they do: Webroot prides themselves on their cybersecurity intelligence platform, which serves everyone from the individual consumer to the enterprise-level security vendor.

Where they are: Highlands Ranch
What they do: Absio developed a multi-platform information security platform that takes a more granular approach to cybersecurity, protecting individual pieces of data, rather than the network as a whole.
What makes them unique: Absio empowers its users to have complete control over their data — wherever it goes. Whether it’s in storage, in transit or in use (even by someone else), every piece of data is individually encrypted so the user has complete discretion as to when, where and how their data is used.
