History

Co-founders Gaby Friedlander and Avi Amos founded ObserveIT in Israel in 2006. ObserveIT initially focused on remote vendor monitoring, but expanded to monitor potential vendor, contractor and employee insider threats. The goal of the software is to help organizations streamline the insider threat incident investigation process, and prevent data loss. In 2014, Bain Capital Ventures invested $20 Million in ObserveIT, and opened up its U.S. headquarters in Boston, MA. Now under the leadership of CEO Mike McKee,[2] ObserveIT has recently released version 7.5 [3] of its software.
