Bolster is an AI platform that automates the detection and remediation of phishing and scam activities across the internet. Pulse 2.0 interviewed Bolster co-founder and CTO Shashi Prakash to gain insights into the company.
Bolster is leveraging AI for positive impact by automating the detection and elimination of malicious and fake websites, mobile sites, app stores, social media accounts, and more.
“We have built our own disposition engine that not only accurately categorizes malicious content online, but we also assign a risk score to match an organization’s given risk tolerance. This allows for organizations to quickly identify a threat, categorize, and automate a response across web, social media, app store, and the dark web – reducing their total attack surface and increasing security hygiene.”
Bolster announced on May 22, 2024, a $14 million Series B financing round led by new investor M12, Microsoft’s venture fund. Existing investors Thomvest Ventures, Crosslink Capital, Liberty Global Ventures, Cheyenne Ventures, Cervin Ventures, and Transform Capital also participated. The financing brings Bolster’s total funding to over $40 million.
