It is truly the future of search and will revolutionize intelligence, real-time cyber incident response and orchestration capabilities, and will quickly be adopted by sectors outside of security." Polarity also increases productivity and collaboration while minimizing costly mistakes. For example, instead of sending email or chat messages to communicate with team members, intelligence is put into Polarity. Polarity then recognizes the content of users' computer screens and automatically delivers intelligence relevant to what the users are currently working on. "I've never seen a product as versatile as Polarity," said Ron Gula, founder of Gula Tech Ventures. "I use it to track attacks on my lab network across all of my security products and I also keep my LinkedIn contacts loaded. Polarity not only makes the job of sharing cyber security data instantly across any set of team and products you might have, but it can also be used to make your IT teams more efficient, your customer teams more responsive and even help you keep track of what you know in day-to-day business." "The world is wasting time searching for information that could automatically be overlaid on their computer screen," added Paul Battista, CEO and co-founder of Polarity. "Partnering with Strategic Cyber Ventures and Gula Tech Ventures will enable us to better serve our existing customers and show the world what human memory augmentation is and why it's so critical."

They've invested in several firms including E8 Security, TrapX Security, and ID DataWeb. Polarity is the fourth investment for the firm and COO Hank Thomas will join the company's Board of Directors.
