SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO — MARCH 29, 2018 — Decentralized antivirus marketplace PolySwarm today announced the completion of its global tour, visiting four continents with stops including Bogota, New York City, Washington D.C., Zurich, Berlin, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Buenos Aires, and Dubai. During this global tour, PolySwarm executives presented the concept of a decentralized marketplace that allows security experts to build anti-malware engines that compete to detect threats and protect users.
“Presenting PolySwarm as a new paradigm for cybersecurity to communities around the globe has been incredibly insightful and rewarding,” said Steve Bassi, CEO of PolySwarm. “Decentralization is a major tenet of our mission, and unlocking talent from around the globe to level the playing field within the security community remains a key focus. We look forward to building upon the connections we created during our global tour as we develop and deploy PolySwarm.”
PolySwarm incentivizes a global community of information security experts to disrupt the $8.5 billion cyber threat intelligence industry, facilitating unprecedented speed and accuracy. The PolySwarm marketplace runs on Nectar (NCT), and ERC20-compatible utility token. PolySwarm recently completed a $25.94 million raise through an NCT token sale to develop and scale its decentralized marketplace.
