Morta Security

Morta Security was a stealth-mode cybersecurity startup founded in 2012 by a team with backgrounds in threat intelligence and protecting national critical infrastructure (widely reported as ex-NSA engineers). The company was building a new paradigm for detecting and countering advanced, targeted cyber threats. Morta raised roughly $1.9M in venture funding from Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), DCVC (Data Collective), Greylock, Norwest, and Wing Venture Capital, and was acquired by Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW) in 2013-2014, where its technology and team were folded into Palo Alto's threat-detection products. Morta Security no longer operates as an independent company and publishes no live website, developer portal, or API surface. This profile is retained in the API Evangelist network as a historical VC-portfolio record; enrichment found no API artifacts.

Morta Security is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Cybersecurity, Threat Intelligence, and Network Security.
