Tessian, an email security company that focuses on human error, today announced that it raised $65 million in Series C funding.
The company has raised $123.7 million in total and its valuation is now $500 million.
The London, United Kingdom-based company leverages machine learning to prevent attacks that rely on email and social engineering.
The company builds behavioral models for all employees and uses them to automatically detect security threats.
The company will invest the new capital in research and development, and in adding more layers of protection beyond email.
"People make 35,000 decisions every day; it just takes one wrong decision or one instance of human error for an employee to cause a catastrophic security breach. We're tackling the biggest threat to enterprise security," said Tim Sadler, co-founder and CEO at Tessian.
