Invincea, Inc (formerly Secure Command, LLC) is a venture backed software company that provides malware threat detection, prevention, and pre-breach forensic intelligence.[1]
History
Founded in 2006, by Anup Ghosh, the company is headquartered Fairfax, Virginia. Major investors include Dell Ventures, New Atlantic Ventures, Grotech Ventures, Aeris Capital & Harbert Venture Partners.[2]
In 2012, Invincea used a $21 million grant from DARPA to improve the security of the US military's Android-based devices such as tablet PCs and smart phones. The Invincea software secures data from unauthorized access and protects the device from malicious applications.[3]
In June 2013, Dell announced an OEM partnership with Invincea and began shipping a new endpoint security solution dubbed “Dell Data Protection | Protected Workspace” on all of its commercial tablets and PCs worldwide.[4]
In December, 2013, Invincea acquired Sandboxie for an undisclosed amount. Sandboxie is a pioneer in the Windows Containment and sandboxing market, making it a logical addition to Invincea’s technology portfolio.[5]
