As corporate IT networks continue to expand in a context of security expertise scarcity, managers and experts are faced with an ever-increasing challenge to protect companies from cyber-attacks and data breaches. The growing complexity of modern enterprise networks raises the pressure on security teams to scale their continuous vulnerability detection and remediation activities.
Recent advances in the field of Artificial Intelligence are at the heart of Warden, Delve labs' autonomous solution. This innovative platform allows companies to efficiently scale their security coverage via the first Smart VA engine in the industry. It provides a crucial helping hand for security teams, reduces their menial activities and helps them focus on mission critical tasks.
Gartner reports that by 2020, more than 25% of identified enterprise attacks will involve some of the 30 Billion IoT devices and that 99% of the vulnerabilities exploited will continue to be ones that are known and remediable. With AI and Advanced Machine Learning also being identified by Gartner as a top strategic trend for 2017 and beyond, Delve Labs is leading the way by ensuring that security teams can harness the power of AI and work in the most efficient manner possible to quickly detect and remediate vulnerabilities.

This round of investments will provide us with the resources needed to accelerate the company's growth and meet the increased demand for streamlined and scalable security solutions." said Gabriel Tremblay, CEO and Co-founder of Delve Labs.
