Sentrigo

 

Founded: 2006

Headquarters: Kfar Saba, Israel; U.S. office in Woburn, Mass.

Funding: $3.5 million from Benchmark Capital

CEO: Nathan Shuchami

What the company offers: Database security monitoring tool, Hedgehog, released in June for the Oracle database.

Why it’s worth watching: The Hedgehog software can be used in monitoring or blocking mode to warn security administrators about attempted SQL injection or buffer-overflow attacks. Because Hedgehog also looks at larger database actions, it also watches what insiders are doing, based on set policies.

How the company got its start: CTO Slavik Markovich, an expert in database architecture, sensed an opportunity on the security front and headed up basic product design and development. Sentrigo just added Guy Rinat as vice president of R&D, an activity formerly managed by Markovich, who will devote more time to new-product development and customer interaction.

Where the company got its name: They focused on the word “sentry” and came up with Sentrigo.

Customers: N.E.W. Customer Service Companies
