Uplevel Security operated as a cybersecurity firm specializing in incident response and threat intelligence, founded in 2014 by Roselle Safran and Liz Maida. The company's creation was driven by the founders' deep experience in the security sector; Liz Maida, for instance, was an early engineering leader at Akamai's security division, where she gained expertise in using graph theory for large-scale data analytics to identify malicious network activity, a core tenet of Uplevel's subsequent technology.
The firm secured a total of $7.82 million in funding over two rounds, including a $2.5 million seed round in October 2016 and a $5.32 million Series A round in December 2017. Uplevel Security's primary market was enterprise security operations teams who were often inundated with a high volume of security alerts from various disjointed systems. The business addressed the challenge of sifting through this data to find genuine threats by providing a platform that served as an adaptive system of intelligence for security operations.
The company's core product was an incident analysis and resolution platform that leveraged graph-based machine learning to contextualize security alerts. It ingested data from a client's existing security tools, such as SIEMs and log managers, along with external threat intelligence feeds. By applying graph analysis, the system could correlate real-time alerts with historical incident data, identifying patterns and the root cause of attacks more efficiently. This process was designed to significantly reduce the time required for security teams to identify and resolve incidents. A key milestone for the company was its acquisition by McAfee in 2019, which integrated Uplevel's predictive security analytics platform into its enterprise offerings.
