Barkly

Barkly is a Boston, Massachusetts-based cybersecurity company that develops an endpoint protection platform utilizing machine learning and behavioral analysis to detect and block cyber threats. Operating on a business-to-business software-as-a-service subscription model, the firm provides mid-market enterprises and IT security teams with defense mechanisms against ransomware, malware, and zero-day exploits without relying on traditional virus signatures. Prior to its acquisition, the organization raised a total of $27.5 million in venture capital funding, which included a $15 million Series B funding round. The company received financial backing from prominent venture capital firms such as New Enterprise Associates and Sigma Prime Ventures. In July 2019, the software business was acquired by Alert Logic, which integrated the endpoint protection technology into its managed detection and response platform. Barkly was founded in 2013 by Mike Duffy and Jack Danahy.
