Guardz Funded $56M to Boost MSP Cybersecurity with AI-Driven Platform
- Guardz, a Miami-based cybersecurity startup, secured $56 million in funding led by ClearSky and other investors, bringing its total capital to $84 million in just over two years.
- Founded in 2022 by Dor Eisner and Alon Lavi, Guardz aims to enhance cybersecurity for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) through their MSP partners using an AI-native unified platform.
- The platform integrates identity, endpoint, email, cloud, and data protection, supported by managed detection and response (MDR) powered by AI-driven automation.
- Guardz's solution reduces MSP workload and alert fatigue by consolidating multiple security tools into a single system, addressing the high percentage of MSPs struggling with fragmented security solutions.
- As cyber threats evolve, SMBs are increasingly targeted, necessitating enterprise-grade cybersecurity solutions, which Guardz provides with simplified deployment and real-time threat mitigation.
- The funding will be used to expand U.S. operations, enhance R&D in AI-native automation, accelerate go-to-market efforts, and improve platform integrations.
- Guardz's strategy focuses on unifying tools with AI-driven MDR to help MSPs enhance their cybersecurity offerings for SMBs, positioning them as growth enablers.
- The company aspires to be a cybersecurity backbone for the global SMB sector by combining automation, identity-focused detection, unified controls, and regulatory compliance.
- This funding round marks a significant milestone in Guardz's journey, reshaping how Managed Service Providers (MSPs) deliver and scale managed services.
