K2 Cyber Security: Quick, Real-Time Threat Detection for Improved Application Workload Security

“The most important thing an organization must do as it continues to grow and moves toward the cloud, is to plan the best course of action to protect their most valuable assets, applications and data.” This statement by Pravin Madhani, a prolific entrepreneur and cybersecurity professional, stems from his extensive experience as a computer engineer and C-suite level executive for leading software companies over several years. He further continues to express his concerns of organizations’ cloud migration from traditional, on-premise enterprise infrastructures—where their security teams had complete control over how they fought various cyber attacks. However, today, as enterprise-wide cloud infrastructure services are offered via third-party providers, a company is not able to completely maintain absolute confidence in its information’s safety against a number of online threats. So, how would one go about ensuring their cloud and enterprise security stays top-tier? Madhani answers this with the solutions from K2 Cyber Security, a company he co-founded with a simple yet perpetually important goal in mind: all-round protection.

Founded in 2017, K2 Cyber Security provides the next-generation web application and cloud workload protection platform that focuses on securing various hybrid cloud, container and Kubernetes-based infrastructures. “Our solution additionally delivers comprehensive runtime application protection against sophisticated attacks including OWASP Top 10 and memory-based zero day attacks with no false positives,” adds Madhani, who is also the company’s CEO. K2 Cyber Security’s application workload protection platform is designed to detect highly sophisticated attacks that are often undiscovered by an organization’s existing network and endpoint security systems like web application firewalls (WAF). Leveraging the company’s unique patent-pending optimized control flow integrity (OCFI) technology and a deterministic technique, the platform is able to protect an enterprise’s assets without having to rely on any knowledge, signature, or behavior of past attacks. K2 Cyber Security’s solution, in real time, offers quick remediation with the location of vulnerabilities in a client’s code when an attack is detected, while updating existing firewalls with the attacker’s IP address. Such features help instill a new sense of security and privacy in an organization’s hybrid cloud environment, where the client is supported by K2 Cyber Security’s comprehensive solution.
