Middletown, Delaware, USA, November 18, 2022: EasyDMARC, a vendor of the all-in-one email security and deliverability platform, announced in August it had successfully closed the seed funding round of $2.3 million, led by Acrobator Ventures, Formula VC, and a US-based public security company.
This third company is Knowbe4 Ventures, which was a co-investor in the EasyDMARC investment round.
KnowBe4, the provider of the world’s largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, announced the establishment of KnowBe4 Ventures in August 2022 to strengthen and support the human layer of cybersecurity.
“Cyberattacks continue to plague organizations in every industry. The majority of these attacks target the human, so it is important to support founders taking on the challenge of improving security culture and accelerating the importance of securing the human layer.”
Stu Sjouwerman | CEO @ KnowBe4
Since over 93% of all successful cyberattacks on organizations start with a phishing email (Verizon DBIR 2021), email security should be a priority for all companies, irrespective of size. Firewall Times reported that 61% of SMBs experienced a phishing attack last year.
“At EasyDMARC, we are committed to ensuring businesses’ security in cyberspace. Our cooperation with Knowbe4 will take us closer to our vision of creating the world’s largest DMARC ecosystem”.
Gerasim Hovhannisyan | Co-Founder and CEO @ EasyDMARC
EasyDMARC has taken the world not only in terms of clientele (30.000 customers from 130 countries) but also with its international team present on almost all the continents (minus Australia and Antarctica). The new investment round will push the boundaries for EasyDMARC to fight against social engineering attacks and make the world more secure.
“EasyDMARC’s platform provides great insights into phishing and social engineering risks, which makes it a natural fit for KnowBe4 Ventures. Their products are dead simple to set up and start seeing value, so we are excited to support the EasyDMARC team as they expand into this large market opportunity.”
Rob Henley | Vice President, Corporate Development @ Knowbe4
