By GlobalDataCybelAngel: Addressing the growing data leak problem
The firm’s risk management platform uses artificial intelligence to monitor for data leaks across the surface web, deep web and dark web, as well as connected storage such as internet of things devices.
It aims to address the growing problem of data leaks, particularly breaches that are the fault of third-party vendors.
The cyber threat intelligence market is projected to be worth $12.9bn by 2023, according to Markets And Markets.
Erwan Keraudy, CEO of CybelAngel, said: “The acceleration of digital transformation and the proliferation of connected devices has created an explosion of both malicious and negligent risks.
“This funding enables CybelAngel to expand globally to more countries and continue to innovate to protect enterprises’ most critical digital assets from costly data leaks. It will also support our expansion in North America where the demand for digital supply chain protection and third-party risk management is growing exponentially.”
Pieter Welten, partner at Prime Ventures, joined CybelAngel’s board of directors as part of the deal.
“CybelAngel’s technology is a must-have in every CIO’s cybersecurity posture,” said Welten. “Their solution has already been successful at saving customers billions of dollars’ worth of potential damage from data leaks. We see an expansive global opportunity in CybelAngel, and we are excited to help them grow.”
CybelAngel counts pharmaceutical giant Sanofi, luxury retail brand Louis Vuitton and Air France among its customers.
