With the help of an AI chatbot that serves as a virtual cybersecurity officer and helps each SME implement its own practical cybersecurity solutions, the platform is a gamified system.

Bakas said, “You can build great cyber defense lines, but if your team is not on board, then willingly or unwillingly there will be a weak link somewhere in the chain,” “Our goal is to provide companies with a comprehensive set of tools that bring everyone into the process, making high-level security manageable, simple to navigate, and available at an affordable price.”

Through the provision of tools for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) to oversee and manage their internal cybersecurity procedures and uphold regulatory compliance, the company's platform also assists established fintechs.
