Cybersecurity company Endari announced its official launch from stealth mode by Nils Puhlmann, who is a seasoned cybersecurity veteran with over 30 years of experience. And the company has also raised $4 million in seed funding.
With this funding, Endari has created a proprietary and comprehensive cybersecurity maturity model that has been tested and validated with real customers.
Endari’s cybersecurity maturity model addresses these challenges by providing scalable security solutions that grow with the business, ensuring startups can protect their assets and customer data while on their journey to reach cybersecurity independence. And by partnering with Endari, startups can ensure customer and user trust without the overhead and complexity associated with full-time hires, which are difficult to find due to the persistent talent gap in cyber. Endari’s supportive approach accelerates the implementation of security programs and also enhances overall security posture, allowing businesses to focus on their core operations.
Plus, Endari ensures robust security coverage at every stage of business growth. Leveraging a team of seasoned security professionals and CISO advisors with 100+ years of combined experience in cybersecurity, the company offers first-hand expertise to help young businesses navigate their cybersecurity journeys.
KEY QUOTES:
“Startups are under immense pressure to meet business objectives under compressed timelines and with limited resources. They are operating in an extremely dynamic threat environment that even large, well-resourced organizations struggle to navigate successfully. There isn’t a dedicated vendor in the market that is clearly focused on helping startups and small businesses mature their security posture and eventually take control of protecting their company and customers, allowing them to focus on growth without disruption.”
- Richard Stiennon, Principal Analyst at IT-Harvest and author of Security Yearbook
“I have been in security for a long time and have seen first-hand that most solutions and processes are only built for large enterprises, not startups. Startups are left behind with a patchwork of solutions that can’t be implemented properly because they don’t have the right talent and are not looking at the big picture. Essentially, they are stuck with security gaps and limited visibility, leaving them vulnerable and exposed in the current threat landscape. I created Endari because somebody needed to step up and do something to tackle this major gap in the market. There’s just too much at stake when it’s the smaller companies that larger companies rely on by utilizing their technologies and solutions. All it takes is one big breach and a startup is done – most of them won’t survive it.”
- CEO and Founder of Endari, Nils Puhlmann
“Cybersecurity vendors often have only surface-level awareness and knowledge about the operational risk environment most companies live in. Maintaining cybersecurity readiness through ad hoc measures that lack consistent and well-documented processes makes it difficult to assess and improve the overall effectiveness of their cybersecurity investments.”
“Endari’s model and CISO advisors provide a path to establishing cybersecurity maturity which helps businesses be proactive in addressing risks and meeting the growing universe of regulatory requirements. It’s a game-changer for emerging companies.”
- Mark Weatherford, CISO Advisor at Endari
