Our take
The rise of online disinformation, misinformation and manipulation campaigns is a growing and concerning problem, and one that can be difficult to combat. Alethea hopes to make this easier for organizations with its Artemis platform, which was built to monitor, detect, assess and mitigate disinformation attacks.
Using billions of data points, the platform leverages multichannel analysis to detect risks and deal with them before any damage is done. By deciphering which risks pose a real threat, and which can be ignored, it empowers cybersecurity teams to focus their efforts in the right places.
Through this approach, users can proactively defend themselves against the weaponization of information. As this becomes a more prominent problem, Alethea has no shortage of potential clientele, while recent funding will enable it to grow its teams and further enhance the platform to cope with changing threats.
