UK-based cybersecurity company SenseOn launched a new campaign dubbed ‘On A Mission’ to create a safer world by educating people about safe cyber practices.
Founded in 2017 by David Atkinson, cyber specialist from the UK Special Forces, SenseOn’s ‘AI Triangulation’ technology emulates how a human security analyst thinks and acts to automate the process of threat detection, investigation and response.
After analysing user behaviour from multiple perspectives SenseOn provides accurate and context-rich alerts. These automated capabilities free security teams from the burden of exhaustive analysis, alert fatigue and false positives.
SenseOn was established as a centralised platform that provides complete visibility and insights informed by data sources working natively to accurately detect and autonomously investigate cyber threats. This enables IT and security teams to minimise noise and focus on genuine threats. SenseOn currently works across all industries and sectors, including financial services, healthcare and public sector, including the UK Government.
This initiative comes amid news that the firm was selected as one of the World Economic Forum’s Technology Pioneers for using new technologies that is poised to have a significant impact on business and society.
Commenting on the announcement, Atkinson said: “I have seen first-hand the huge cybersecurity issues facing organisations of all sizes and all industries, public or private sector. The range of threats today are so sophisticated and becoming more so literally by the day, which makes keeping on top of them a seemingly losing battle for many. This is the fundamental challenge SenseOn was created to address and I am delighted to have been recognised by the World Economic Forum in our endeavour to tackle what is one of the most systemic risks facing the world today.”
Atkinson added that the financial services industry continues to face unrelenting cyber-attack attempts due to the nature of high-value data it houses. But with robust cybersecurity software, they can actively flag suspicious behaviour and instantaneously isolate serious threats.
Major investors in the four-year-old business include research-led venture capital firm MMC Ventures, global technology investor Amadeus Capital Partners, early-stage intelligent enterprise venture capital firm Crane Venture Partners, cybersecurity accelerator CyLon, and Winton’s venture arm, Winton Ventures.
SenseOn expects to grow its team to 60 employees by the end of this year, with more than 30 customers spanning the UK, US and EU, within its first eighteen months of trading and is on a mission to fix cybersecurity by reaching £100m in serviced clients by 2027.
