Our take

As automated threats become increasingly sophisticated, businesses need to improve the performance and security of their websites. The founders of Netacea identified that artificial intelligence could be harnessed to create next generation solutions to confront this issue.

Netacea was formed from the product development of its parent company, Intechnica. Its technology moves past distinguishing humans from malicious bots and focuses instead on understanding the traffic’s intention. The platform can then feed actionable intelligence to the business.

Netacea have recently raised significant funding, and this capital will be used to help the startup to expand its presence in the U.K. and the U.S., where there is significant opportunity for growth.
