Read below why we think consumer cybersecurity is one of the biggest opportunities in AI.

AMOS stealer isn’t busting in through shady downloads. It’s riding in on "GoogleFix", a campaign abusing Google sponsored results for Mac "fixes".
Attackers hijack legit ad accounts, slipping malicious links for "Apple support" onto real search pages. Victims trust what they see at the top, why wouldn’t they?

We’ve got something HUGE to share 🤯
Guardio just raised $80M to keep scaling online protection that actually keeps up with the web and the AI revolution.
For years, the personal cybersecurity market was outdated, leaving consumers exposed to evolving online threats. Guardio was built to close the gap and make sure every person gets the same level of protection enterprises take for granted.
We're excited for this next chapter, and none of this would've been possible without our amazing team, pushing boundaries and protecting millions of users worldwide every single day.
And of course, a huge thanks to our investors! This round was led by ION Crossover Partners, with continued support from Union Tech Ventures, Vintage Investment Partners, and Emerge Ventures.

Phishing has never been more deceptive.
Look at how attackers target high-value Facebook Business accounts managing serious budgets.
The trick? A link to your "copyright-infringing" ad, followed by a fake Meta Captcha and a "browser-in-the-browser" login that looks so real! (1/3)
