About the Company
Damballa offers the leading advanced threat protection solutions for identifying criminal actors in enterprise networks and malware-infected subscribers in carrier networks. Damballa was founded in 2006 by security researchers at Georgia Tech, who anticipated that anti-virus, blacklists and signature-based approaches to security would become marginalized and could never serve as the end-all for protecting computing devices and corporate networks.
