The cost of cybercrime is projected to hit $2 trillion by 2019, affecting not only businesses, but individuals, who are easier, relatively unprotected targets. With this exponential increase in cyber attacks and a lack of effective security tools for consumers, Rubica’s advanced cyber security protection — the only solution on the market powerful enough to protect a world-class corporation but designed to secure individuals — continues to attract investors. This May, investors expressed their ongoing confidence in Rubica with $9 million in Series A funding. To date, Rubica has raised more than $13 million from both angel investors and venture capital firms.
In a recent Geekwire Startup Spotlight, which profiles promising technology companies, Frances Dewing, CEO of Rubica, explained Rubica’s key differentiator: “While Norton Antivirus and LifeLock can offer a measure of protection, those companies can’t match Rubica and its employment of human cyber analysts.”
Rubica’s team of cyber security experts is essential, as full automation with algorithms/machine-learning is an ineffective defense against constantly emerging new threats. Putting humans on the front lines is the only effective way to defend against modern cybercrime, including theft of data and finances. By putting smart tools in the hands of smart people to make contextual threat-hunting efficient and scalable, Rubica always stays a step ahead of cyber criminals. In contrast, companies that aren’t addressing the human component of cybercrime and cyber security will always be beat. Rubica’s cyber analysts secure clients 24/7 by continually identifying new threats that are undetectable by traditional consumer solutions.
