French startup Riot She raised a 30 million dollar tour of the B series after reaching $ 10 million annual revenues in 2024. It originally focused on educating employees on the risks of cybersecurity, and the company now wants to take one step forward and pay the employees until they reduce the surface of the attack.
Left Lane Capital leads today’s round with current investors Y Combinator, Base10 and Fountorsclub sharing again. From what TECHCRUNCH has learned, Riot’s has reached a post -$ 170 million rating rating after the B.
The riots started originally with fake hunting campaigns. Employees regularly receive emails that resemble real emails. But it is designed to deceive employees to click on the links and enter personal information.
In this way, the employees learn that they should be more suspicious about the emails received. Over time, the company added another educational content with the friendly Chatbot called Albert. It can be accessed in Slack and Microsoft teams.
This strategy works well so far, as Riot currently interacts with a million employees in 1500 companies. Customers include L’OCCITANE, Deel, Intercom and Le Monde. (Two years ago, riots only worked with 100,000 employees.)
However, electronic accidents are still in raising with severe consequences. The latest examples of changing the violation of health care data that affects 190 million Americans and began with reliance papers at risk of consumer service. The employee re -using the same password for their personal account and changing the Citrix Healthcare portal – there was no multi -factor authentication on Citrix, too.
For this reason, riots want to grow beyond employee education. Our mission is to look at the status of employees. Do you stimulate the multi -factor authentication? Do they have a safe symbol on their smartphones? Are their LinkedIn privacy settings not very lenient? “There are a lot of things that employees can put in place and that make life more difficult for infiltrators,” Benjamin Nither, Founder of Riot and CEO, told Techcrunch.
RIOT calls its next product to the employee safety management platform. The Central Command of the Security Department will become employee level. While there are many situation management solutions, RIOT believes that employees have been neglected for a long time.
Here is the place where the scene of cybersecurity will suit the company’s surface of the stadium:
“What we create with the platform is that we will automatically analyze the safety of employees … and we will provide a degree, which we called Karma, which will be an indication of the position employee,” said Netter.
Next, RIOT will pay the employee to change the setting here, and stimulate the multiple agents there. “These are the little things that you can do, which will take a minute or two, which will make life difficult for the infiltrators.”
This will be an interesting challenge for riots, as employee security also depends on Internet cleanliness on personal devices and services. Hunting campaigns are now on WhatsApp. LinkedIn profiles are widely used for Social engineering The attacks as well.
For this reason, this new safety product will look more similar to the consumer product, with gentle animation and some games features to motivate you to improve your safety position.
“My long -term vision is to build a safety company for employees and provide all tools in the employee safety staple. Therefore, we can one day offer you – I will give you a ridiculous example – antiviral or password manager.”
But first, with the financing round today, the company also has more money to grow faster. The team plans to open new offices in other countries and develop its customer base to develop these most advanced products.
