ACTA identifies cyber security breaches inside a company's network by analysing data for anomalous patterns that are out of step with normal behaviour, a statement issued by Wynyard said.

"Discovering threats hidden early in the timeline means potential harm and damage to a network can be identified, remedied and mitigated before significant operational or reputational impact occurs," the statement said.

Wynyard chief executive Craig Richardson said: "ACTA has been keenly anticipated by organisations where a cyber breach could have a catastrophic consequence."

According to Wynyard, the software can be deployed across all industries. Moreover, Mr Richardson said the serviceable market for the solution is estimated at more than $US1.2 billion, and is expected to grow at 14 per cent per annum.

The release of ACTA follows the rapid increase in cyber-attacks against Australia in the last year - up by 37 per cent.
