About ExtraHop
ExtraHop is a cybersecurity company founded in 2007 by Jesse Rothstein and Raja Mukerji, headquartered in Seattle, Washington, USA. It specializes in AI-based network intelligence, offering solutions that provide organizations with visibility into cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and network performance issues that often evade traditional security and IT tools. This enables faster threat detection and response to enhance business resilience.
The company started by delivering advanced network analysis and monitoring tools, focusing on leveraging the network as the ultimate source of truth to understand communications between devices and applications in real time. ExtraHop’s technology uses behavioral analytics to detect sophisticated threats like supply chain attacks, advanced persistent threats (APTs), and zero-day vulnerabilities.
Holding over 70 AI and machine learning patents, ExtraHop processes petabytes of data daily to generate actionable intelligence. Their platform streamlines investigation workflows, allowing customers to resolve threats significantly faster, as validated by third-party studies such as Forrester Consulting’s Total Economic Impact™.
ExtraHop operates globally with offices in Seattle (headquarters), London, Germany, France, Australia, Singapore, and Japan. The company raised significant venture funding before its acquisition by Bain Capital Private Equity and Crosspoint Capital Partners in 2021 for $900 million. Leadership changes have continued with a focus on scaling growth and innovation in the cybersecurity market.
Rooted in network performance monitoring, ExtraHop differentiates itself by combining deep network visibility with cutting-edge AI to continuously improve threat detection and operational continuity for enterprises worldwide.
