About
Morta Security was a San Francisco-based stealth cybersecurity startup founded in 2012 by Raj Shah and Rob Seger, both alumni of the National Security Agency. The company developed unconventional technology to counter advanced cyber threats, operating on the premise that traditional layered network defense is broken. Morta's core team brought expertise from the NSA and U.S. Air Force. The company raised over $1 million from investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock Partners, Norwest Venture Partners, and Data Collective. Morta Security was acquired by Palo Alto Networks in January 2014 in Palo Alto Networks' first acquisition, where its technology was integrated into the WildFire threat protection platform.
