Tala Security Selected as Finalist for RSA Conference 2020 Innovation Sandbox Contest

Tala Security, the industry leader in the protection of enterprise websites and web applications against advanced client-side attacks, has been named one of 10 finalists for the RSA Conference 2020 Innovation Sandbox Contest for its work in safeguarding digital commerce against the acceleration of attacks targeting universal JavaScript vulnerabilities introduced by modern website architectures. On Monday, February 24, Tala will present its cybersecurity technology to a panel of renowned industry judges and a live audience at RSA Conference 2020 in San Francisco.

Since 2005, the RSAC Innovation Sandbox has served as a platform for the most promising young cybersecurity companies to showcase their groundbreaking technologies and compete for the title of "Most Innovative Startup." The competition is widely recognized as a catapult for success, as the top 10 finalists have collectively seen 48 acquisitions and $5.2 billion in funding over the last 15 years. Tala will have three minutes to pitch the panel of judges before a question-and-answer round.

"The cybersecurity industry faces constant changes and challenges, and we need bold thinkers like the companies represented at RSAC Innovation Sandbox to drive the industry forward and protect the world against new threats," said Linda Martin Gray, Senior Director and General Manager, RSA Conference. "We are always blown away by the caliber of ideas presented on stage, and perhaps even more exciting, the impact the companies and the bright minds behind them ultimately make on the world after the Conference concludes."

Tala prevents attacks by automating the activation of browser-native, standards-based security controls built into every browser.

Over 50 unique indicators are interrogated to define policies that are deployed and continuously updated to adjust for the dynamic nature of the modern website. Tala excels in breadth of security use case coverage, and administrative simplicity. The activation of browser-native security controls also ensures near zero impacts to website performance and limitless scaling capabilities.

"Changes to the web over the past decade necessitate new approaches to security," said Tala Security Co-Founder and CEO Aanand Krishnan. "We see a meshing of digital commerce and security concerns. Tala is the only solution that can enable organizations to embrace these imperatives by enabling modern web, safeguarding against the broadest range of client-side attacks with zero impact on performance."
