Our take
Email messages and files have become high-value targets for data theft and phishing scams. Armorblox is setting out to solve this problem by leveraging leading AI technology to protect emails and cloud office applications from attacks.
Armorblox's team has developed cutting-edge natural language understanding (NLU) to protect companies' crucial communication lines. This has proven particularly popular among enterprises looking to protect and secure their high-value data. The company currently serves thousands of customers, including DefenseStorm and Caltech.
As the cybersecurity market continues to boom, the company's NLU technology has helped set it apart from its rivals, and it has continued to enhance the platform to maintain this advantage. In 2023 it was announced that Cisco intends to acquire the company, a deal it expects to close by the end of its fourth fiscal quarter, and that will see Armorblox's team join Cisco’s Security Business Group.
