'''Fortscale''' was an Israeli cybersecurity company that developed machine-learning software for user and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA), designed to detect when employees leak sensitive information or when malware impersonates employee identities. It was founded by its CEO [[Idan Tendler]], a [[Unit 8200]] veteran, and its COO Dr [[Yona Hollander]].<ref name="GlobesFortscale">Globes correspondent, [https://en.globes.co.il/en/article-rsa-acquires-israeli-behavioral-analytics-co-fortscale-1001230579 RSA acquires Israeli behavioral analytics co Fortscale] ''Globes'', 5 April 2018, accessed 29 October 2026.</ref> In April 2018 it was bought by [[RSA Security|RSA]], then a subsidiary of [[Dell Technologies]].<ref name="CtechFortscale">Meir Orbach, [https://www.calcalistech.com/ctech/articles/0,7340,L-3735535,00.html RSA to Acquire Behavior Analytics Startup Fortscale] ''Ctech'', 5 April 2018, accessed 29 October 2026.</ref><br />

== Founders and Unit 8200 ==<br />
In a 2015 opinion article for ''TechCrunch'', the editor's introduction described [[Idan Tendler]] as Fortscale's CEO and co-founder and said that "Before founding Fortscale, Tendler was a lead agent of the 8200, the cyberwarfare division of the Israeli Defense Forces" ([[Unit 8200]]; [[Israel Defense Forces]]). Tendler wrote that his 8200 training began in 1999, when he and other 18-year-olds were prepared to lead "complex intelligence technological operations in Israel's equivalent of the NSA".<ref name="TCTendler">Idan Tendler, [https://techcrunch.com/2015/03/20/from-the-8200-to-silicon-valley/ From The Israeli Army Unit 8200 To Silicon Valley] ''TechCrunch'', 20 March 2015, accessed 29 October 2026.</ref> No published source found describes military service for [[Yona Hollander]].<br />

== Funding and acquisition ==<br />
''Ctech'' reported that Fortscale was founded in 2012 and raised $23 million; ''Globes'' named its investors as [[Evolution Equity Partners]], [[Valor Capital Group]], [[Intel Capital]], [[Blumberg Capital]], [[Swarth]], [[CME Ventures]] and [[UST Global]].<ref name="CtechFortscale" /><ref name="GlobesFortscale" /> When [[RSA Security|RSA]] announced the acquisition, ''Globes'' said Fortscale's UEBA technology would be added to RSA's NetWitness platform; no financial details were disclosed.<ref name="GlobesFortscale" /> Citing a person familiar with the deal, ''Ctech'' reported that it was valued at less than the equity Fortscale had raised, that some of its 30 employees would move to RSA's research and development centre in Israel, and that Tendler would not stay with the company.<ref name="CtechFortscale" /><br />
