Ziften was a cybersecurity software company based in Austin, Texas, United States.[1] The organization's endpoint protection platform is designed to provide advanced anti-virus, endpoint detection and response, and endpoint visibility and hardening for enterprise laptops, desktops, servers and the cloud.[2] As of 2020, Ziften is out of business.[citation needed]

In May 2012, Ziften raised $5.5 million in capital in a Series B round from Fayez Sarofim & Co. In July 2015, Ziften raised $24 million in capital from New York-based Spring Mountain Capital LP and Fayez Sarofim & Co. In April 2017, Ziften raised an additional $14.7M from Trousdale Ventures.

Product and Services[edit]
In September 2017, Ziften announced a series of managed security services, called Managed Assess Service, Managed Hunt Service, and Managed Respond Service, all designed to help organizations augment their security teams by getting additional help in monitoring EDR, analytics, and security forensics.[4]
In November 2017, Microsoft announced new partnerships for its Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) service, including integration with Ziften's Zenith security platform for macOS and Linux operating system support. The integration provides security events from onboarded macOS and Linux devices and surfaces them all within the Windows Defender ATP console.[5] Ziften was later included as a member in the initial formation of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association.[6]
