Uplevel Security is a cybersecurity company founded in 2014 that developed an adaptive intelligence platform using graph theory and machine learning to modernize security operations.[1][2][4] The platform ingests and contextualizes current and historical security alerts, threat intelligence, and incident data to uncover hidden threats, predict attack patterns, and help enterprises activate intelligence from their security stacks for faster threat resolution and improved ROI.[1][2][3] It serves large organizations in sectors like fintech, telecommunications, and healthcare, solving the problem of overwhelming security data by providing a system of record that makes teams stronger with every attack.[2][5]
Uplevel Security was formed in 2014 by Roselle Safran, who also served as CEO, with operations based in New York, NY.[1][4] The company emerged to address inefficiencies in security operations centers (SOCs), leveraging advanced technologies like graph theory and machine learning to create the industry's first adaptive system of intelligence.[1][2] Early traction came from its ability to reduce response times and boost SOC efficiency, positioning it as a key player in threat detection before its acquisition by McAfee.[2][3]
Uplevel Security rode the early 2010s wave of AI and machine learning adoption in cybersecurity, addressing the explosion of alerts from expanding security tools amid rising sophisticated threats.[1][2] Its timing aligned with enterprises struggling to manage data overload in SOCs, a market force amplified by cloud migration and hybrid work environments that increased attack surfaces.[2][5] By influencing how security teams visualize and operationalize data—through graph-based observability—the company contributed to modern SecOps practices, paving the way for consolidated platforms now standard in the ecosystem post-acquisition by McAfee.[2][7]
Post-acquisition by McAfee, Uplevel Security's technology likely enhances McAfee's broader threat intelligence offerings, integrating adaptive graph analytics into enterprise-scale solutions.[2] Trends like AI-powered predictive security and zero-trust architectures will shape its legacy, driving demand for contextualized threat hunting amid escalating cyber risks. Its influence may evolve through McAfee's global reach, empowering SOCs worldwide to stay ahead of evolving attacks, fulfilling its original promise of turning data into proactive defense.
