Versive

Versive was a Seattle-based artificial-intelligence and machine-learning cybersecurity company (originally founded as Context Relevant) whose flagship product, the Versive Security Engine (VSE), applied machine learning to network and security telemetry to automatically surface adversary campaigns and in-progress breaches for security operations teams. Backed by Bloomberg Beta and other investors, Versive was acquired by managed-detection-and-response provider eSentire in October 2018, after which its technology was folded into eSentire's MDR platform and the independent Versive website (versive.com) was retired. This profile is retained in the API Evangelist network as a portfolio lead; the enrichment pipeline found no live, independent Versive developer or API surface to harvest.

Versive is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning.
