Purpose of the funding by Andesite
We are developing the next generation of security analyst experiences at Andesite. Our goal is to empower cyber defenders to act more nimbly in a security environment that is becoming more and more data-dense.
Andesite, in collaboration with Red Cell and General Catalyst, has created a cutting-edge AI security analytics platform that will enable cyber analysts in the public and private sectors to protect themselves against advanced persistent threats (APTs). The most recent business to open under Red Cell’s recently established Cyber Practice is Andesite, which is run by George Barnes, a former NSA deputy director.

Andesite’s Co-Founder and CEO, Brian Carbaugh, said, “At Andesite, we’re building the next-generation security analyst experience. Our mission is to supercharge cyber defenders to operate with greater agility in an increasingly data-dense security environment.
