Riot is raising $ 30 million for cyber security product stock that focuses on workers ncvrs.com

Launch Rebellion He raised a $ 30 million B series after reached $ 10 million annual revenue in 2024. Originally focused on teaching workers on cyber security risks, the company now wants to go one step further and wants employees to minimize their attack interface.

Bal Lane Capital leads to today’s round with existing investors with Y Combinator, Base10 and FundersClub participating again. What Techcrunch learned was Riot’s raising money from $ 170 million from $ 170 million after the B series.

Riot originally started with false phishing campaigns. Employees regularly receive these -mail, which seem real E -Mail. But it is designed to deceive workers to click the links and enter personal data.

In this way, workers learn that they must be more suspicious of incoming E -Mail. Over time, the company added other educational content with a friendly security chatbot called Albert. Available on Slack and Microsoft teams.

This strategy has worked well so far, as Riot currently interacts with one million employees of 1,500 companies. Customers include L’Occitane, Deel, Intercom and Le Monde. (Riot worked with only 100,000 employees a few years ago.)

And yet, computer events continue to have increasing consequences. The latest example is the health data violation of the change, which is affected by 190 million Americans and began compromised credentials for consumer services. An employee re -used the same password for their personal account and changed the Healthcare Citrix portal – there was no multifactor authentication on Citrix.

That’s why Riot wants to go beyond the education of employees. “Our task is to look at the workers’ posture. Activate -Ea multifactor authentication? Do you have a secure code on their smartphone? LinkedIn’s privacy settings aren’t you too allowed? There are many things that employees can bring in, which usually make life more difficult for hackers, ”said Riot’s founder and CEO, Benjamin Netter to Techcrunch.

RIOT calls its next product as an employee’s safety posture treatment platform. A central cockpit will be the management of safety at the employee level. Although there are many posture management solutions, Riot believes that employees have been neglected for too long.

Here it fits in with the cyber security landscape, according to the company’s pitch:

“What we create on the platform is to automatically analyze the safety of workers … and give a score, which we called Karma score, which will be an employee’s marker,” said Netter.

Riot then spoils the employee to change the setting here and activates multifactor authentication. “This is the little thing you can do, which takes two minutes, and that makes life difficult for hackers,” Netter added.

This will be an interesting challenge for riots, as workers’ safety also depends on the cyber hygiene of personal tools and services. Phishing campaigns are still on WhatsApp. LinkedIn profiles are widely used social engineering attacks.

This is the reason why this new security product will look a bit more consumption product with nice animations and some game functions to encourage a safety posture improvement.

“My long -term idea is to build an employee security company and provide all the tools in the employee security stack. So it is possible that one day we make – a silly example – a virus or password manager, ”said Netter.

But first, with today’s funding round, the company has more cash to grow faster. The team plans to open new offices in other countries and increase its customer base to develop more sophisticated products.
