Inky closed 2020 with triple-digit growth in enterprise, midmarket customers
Listen to this articleInky Technology Corporation, an email phishing protection firm based in College Park, Wednesday announced the company closed 2020 with more than 150% in enterprise and midmarket customer growth.
The company raised $20 million in series B funding, led by Insight Partners to increase company size, expedite product development, grow the go-to-market team and increase the ability to operate globally. It also expanded its customer base across the energy, health care, financial services and information technology sectors, now serving more than 500 customers.
Inky also enhanced anti-phishing capabilities with the addition of Account Takeover (ATO) Protection, which uses machine learning techniques referred to as stylometry and social graphing to create individual sender profiles and block ATO attacks for users and third-parties.
The company also forged strategic collaboration as the only anti-phishing vendor to be a member of the ONG-ISAC (Oil and Natural Gas Information Sharing and Analysis Center) Strategic Partnership Program.
Additions to its executive team with such industry veterans as Roger Kay, vice president of security strategy and Chief Financial Officer Leigh Reichel, helped the company achieve exponential employee growth reaching 70 employees across North America and EMEA.
The company also was named one of 10 finalists for the RSA Conference 2020 Innovation Sandbox Contest for its work on solving the systemic phishing attack epidemic.
