In a sentence, our mission in cyber security is: We want to make it easy to provide a substantial and intelligent layer of security for your entire organization within less than 10 minutes.
Best part about being located in greater area? Worst thing? It's awesome to be in the DC area - it seems to really be taking off as a cybersecurity hub, which is great. The biggest challenge for us thus far is that most candidates have had sole or extensive experience in Government, which for us doesn't typically translate.
Biggest cyber threat we should ALL be aware of? Currently, our big focus is on phishing and deceptive attacks that trick your employees into compromising your organizations security and/or critical details.
Biggest opportunity/challenge in 2020 for your company? We have a huge year ahead. We just closed a solid seed round with Arthur Ventures as our lead investor. Our biggest challenge will likely be recruiting and scaling, as our team is set to more than double this year.
