SubCom (Subconscious Compute), a cybersecurity firm, said that it has secured $1 million in a seed round from YourNest Venture Capital, ISV Capital, and an existing investor, Entrepreneur First. Bikky Khosla, Chairman TradeIndia, Varun Alagh, Founder, MamaEarth, Harjot Gill, Founder, FluxNinja & Netsil, and several top executives from Google, Netflix, and Visa also took part in the round.
SubCom, founded by Anter Virk and Dilawar Singh in December 2020, delivers endpoint observability via their ‘Habituation Neural Fabric.’ This AI-powered platform allows customers to monitor and control the Trust Score of their endpoints in real-time, such as laptops, smartphones, and IoT devices.
“End-users and endpoints are the weakest links in the cybersecurity chain today. Covid-19 increased the threat landscape for endpoints, and ransomware threats are growing exponentially. With SubCom, users can see the endpoint trust score, adopt recommended measures to harden security, and observe and mitigate threats like ransomware and zero-day in real-time.” said Anter Virk, Co-founder & CEO, SubCom.
SubCom’s Habituation Neural Fabric learns to distinguish between true dangers and safe signals, similar to biological intelligence, according to the company. It’s capable of analyzing large amounts of data on the endpoint and detecting abnormalities in real-time with unparalleled precision. According to SubCom, the identified abnormalities are immediately analyzed, classified, and quantified, resulting in a straightforward, easy-to-understand Trust Score for the user.
“While cybersecurity is essential to protect any operations in any business, cybersecurity assurance remains an elusive goal since it is not the core competency of most organizations. SubCom’s Habituation Neural Fabric is a game-changer, helping everyone tackle an Internet that remains weaponized by anonymous hackers with ephemeral footprints,” said Ranjeet Shetye, Partner, Yournest Venture Capital.
