The name list of start-ups entering the eighth phase of the Microsoft Accelerator were published on August 5. Among all these enterprises, the ThreatBook, the only team focuses on cyber security in the 8th phase, is also the first professional cyber threat intelligence corporation in China.

ThreatBook is a newly startup established in May, 2015, aiming to help partners and customers improve detection and defense capabilities in their security products and enable industry customers to deal with complex, continually changing threats in a fast, accurate and cost-effective manner.

Xue Feng, CEO of ThreatBook, quoted Sun-Tzu, a famous Chinese strategist, saying "know yourself as well as your enemy." He said generally speaking, what most companies are struggling to do is to stop others’ access.

"These companies know well about themselves but they do not know about their enemies. What's worse is that sometimes, they even do not know they are hacked or cannot identify who attacked them," Xue said.

Compared with the traditional defensive measures, ThreatBook is using big data to make companies realize that they are hacked as shortly as possible and help them encrypt the information to make it difficult to read. In this way, even the hackers can successfully access to the companies' systems, they cannot read the information.

Xue used to work for Microsoft and Amazon. Although for more than ten years, he had not even thought of starting his own business, he has a high passion to the Internet security related work.
