(PRWEB) November 15, 2013 -- Malcovery®, the leader in delivering actionable intelligence that can be applied to neutralize the threats and actions by cyber criminals in the areas of phishing, spam and malware, today announced that it has been named to the list of “12 hot security start-ups to watch” by both Computerworld, Network World and CSO Magazine, in an article compiled by Ellen Messmer.
Malcovery’s solutions are based on technology developed at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and covered by three awarded patents and one pending patent exclusively licensed by Malcovery. All of Malcovery’s technology is focused on cyber attacks that originate in email-based threats.

Malcovery was launched in early 2013 as a result of an exclusive, worldwide license from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), and based on research in cyber forensics conducted at the Center for Information Assurance and Joint Forensics Research (CIA|JFR) at UAB. Malcovery has quickly gained commercial success with enterprise customers such as eBay, Facebook, Visa, IBM, LinkedIn, Citi, Carnegie Mellon’s CERT, and others.
