Usually, cybersecurity has constantly targeted on what can be hacked and not so significantly on who could possibly be most at threat. Sunday Protection, which is launching currently and asserting a $4 million seed funding round, is hoping to swap this up by providing cyber-risk defense for senior executives and other critical staff.
Established by industry veterans Zack Ganot (CEO) and Shaked Barkan (CTO), who previously ran cybersecurity consulting organization Pandora Protection — which also targeted on substantial-profile folks — Sunday Stability argues that as organization cybersecurity resources boost, attackers are shifting their aim to persons. Unsurprisingly, that usually indicates focusing on people who can present vital entry to an organization’s data and programs. Typically, corporations provide safety consciousness and executive safety courses for these end users, but Sunday Security argues that its company is significantly a lot more extensive.
“We elevate cyber-hazard defense for senior executives and critical personnel across the complete spectrum of their on the web digital identities and interactions,” Ganot said. “We see it as a Ven diagram in which people’s particular and skilled lives overlap. For the enterprise, it’s about shielding the organization from the personal attack vector. For the executive, who doesn’t have the luxury of keeping his or her get the job done and personal life independent, we offer peace of thoughts being aware of that they are not going to get hacked.”
The team also argues, dependent on their knowledge in the consulting company, that manual and education-dependent answers are neither successful nor scalable, especially since way too frequently, the actual problem is an executive’s own accounts on products and services like Gmail or Dropbox. That’s not an assault surface area that is controlled or monitored by conventional enterprise safety. But executives also really don’t want to have the IT crew seem into their private accounts either.
“Unlike our competitors, we think the ideal tactic to fixing the particular cybersecurity problem is by using a B2B2C partnership — empowering your employees’ and executives’ stability by offering them with an efficient ‘off-prem’ resolution to the trouble, much like is carried out in health/mental wellness space,” defined Ganot. “Our platform aids organizations make productive protection all around their critical personnel, devoid of violating the vital ‘separation of church and state’ between their particular and specialist life.”

Sunday Security’s assistance is a SaaS option alone, which can plug into current organization safety platforms. The services continually scans for phishing and session hijacking assaults, enforces password hygiene and a lot more. All of this, of training course, only operates as very long as the end users link all of their accounts to the platform.
