Company Overview

Guardio provides browser- and identity-centric security products that detect and block malicious websites, phishing campaigns, and online scams across consumer and small-business environments. The company emphasizes real-time web risk intelligence and user-safe intervention at the point of attack.

The company announced a $47 million Series B in 2022 and remains privately held. Guardio maintains Israeli roots and has scaled globally in high-volume threat-protection use cases.

Dual-use relevance is meaningful: browser and identity threat prevention can be adapted to workforce protection and public-sector anti-phishing initiatives where user-targeted attacks remain a top initial-access vector.
