Sublime Security, a powerhouse in AI-driven email security, has secured a hefty $20 million in Series A funding. Index Ventures spearheaded the investment charge, with Decibel Partners and Slow Ventures also jumping on board. Cybersecurity luminary Dmitri Alperovitch, co-founder and former CTO of Crowdstrike, has thrown his weight behind the company, joining the investment round and Board of Directors.
In today's digital battleground, email remains a prime target for cyber threats. Sublime equips security teams with cutting-edge tools to detect and thwart attacks, offering unparalleled visibility into cloud email environments. With customizable detection controls, attack surface reduction, and threat hunting capabilities, Sublime stands as a stalwart defender against the rising tide of business email compromises.
The nefarious tactics of cybercriminals continue to evolve, with bad actors leveraging advanced language models for a myriad of malicious schemes, from QR code phishing to malware distribution. To combat these ever-shifting threats, defensive measures must be agile and adaptive. Sublime's AI-powered detection engine breaks away from the traditional black box approach, empowering teams with transparency, control, and the ability to fend off complex email-borne attacks.
Sublime's Core Detections are open source on GitHub, fostering a collaborative environment where contributors can enhance protections against emerging threats. For advanced users seeking granular control, Sublime offers a purpose-built domain-specific language, Message Query Language (MQL), enabling tailored detections, exclusions, and false positive mitigation across Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace via API integrations.
Josh Kamdjou, the visionary behind Sublime Security, draws on a decade of experience in offensive cyber operations to drive innovation in email security. Co-founder and COO Ian Thiel brings a wealth of expertise from his tenure at Optimizely and Alto, fueling Sublime's meteoric rise since its public launch in February 2023. The platform has garnered widespread acclaim, attracting marquee clients like Spotify, Ramp, Vanta, Brex, and Centrica.
In tandem with the funding infusion, Sublime unveils Attack Score, a groundbreaking feature harnessing transparent, explainable machine learning to prioritize email threats. This tool empowers security analysts to swiftly assess and rank detected threats based on contextual insights, enabling seamless integration with detection-as-code logic for enhanced defense strategies.
As Josh Kamdjou aptly puts it, "The Sublime Platform is a modern take on email security, offering immediate protection out of the box while empowering teams to tailor controls to suit organizational needs and leverage community-driven defenses as threats evolve." With a visionary approach and a robust arsenal of tools, Sublime Security is poised to lead the charge in fortifying email defenses against the relentless onslaught of cyber threats.
