Endari, a company that provides cybersecurity solutions for startups and other SMBs, emerged from stealth mode on Wednesday.
The company, founded by cybersecurity veteran Nils Puhlmann, who will serve as CEO, has raised $4 million in seed funding.
Endari has developed a comprehensive cybersecurity maturity model, providing customers with scalable solutions for protecting assets and customer data without the need for a full-time security team.
“Endari’s supportive approach not only accelerates the implementation of security programs but also enhances overall security posture, allowing businesses to focus on their core operations,” the company said.
Endari says it can ensure robust security coverage at every stage of a business’ growth, providing seasoned professionals and CISO advisors to help startups achieve cybersecurity maturity.
Depending on the size of the company, Endari offers several plans that can include capabilities such as identity and access management, device management and control, threat management, third-party management, secure access, network management, workflow and prioritization, security awareness training, security operations and incident response, vulnerability and risk assessment, and product risk detection management.
The company has also commissioned a survey of 300 senior decision-makers in tech startups founded in the past five years in the US.
The survey showed that while a vast majority are confident in their cybersecurity position, nearly half of respondents lacked awareness and knowledge about cybersecurity risks, had limited financial resources, and had the perception that cybersecurity measures are too complex or overwhelming.
When asked about plans to increase cyber readiness over the next year, only 2% of respondents said they plan to develop a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy.
