Our take
As cybercriminals become more sophisticated, and attacks more prevalent, BforeAI sets out to help businesses stop attacks before they start. It does this with predictive threat and risk intelligence delivered across two products - "PreCrime Brand" and "PreCrime Intelligence".
The products combat different arms of the cyber threat landscape, identifying impersonation threats and potential bad actors respectively. This enables users to guard themselves against reputational and financial harm, as well as direct threats because they can act to protect themselves before any damage is done.
The cybersecurity landscape is undeniably favouring more proactive products, which puts BforeAI in a good position moving forward. It also means it could face a good amount of competition, but a substantial Series A funding round will enable it to serve more sophisticated customers and pursue a dominant place in this developing space.
