Armorblox announced that it has built the world’s first natural language understanding (NLU) platform for cybersecurity, analyzing sensitive information in emails and documents, and providing a new way to intelligently detect, alert and protect against identity-related attacks and data loss.
Closing Series A funding with $16.5 million led by General Catalyst, Armorblox finally provides a way for organizations to protect against people-hacking. Armorblox will showcase the new solution at RSA Conference, March 4-8 in San Francisco.
With employees communicating through emails and documents on a daily basis, people-hacking has become the top attack vector for stealing data. Even when organizations heavily invest in security solutions and employee training, email continues to be the biggest attack vector, responsible for 94% of all attacks. Hackers are bypassing traditional metadata-based email security solutions through social engineering. It is also easy for employees to make mistakes, such as sending a sensitive document to the wrong person.
