CybelAngel

Founded in Paris in 2013 by brothers Erwan and Stevan Keraudy, alongside Matthieu Finiasz, CybelAngel is a cybersecurity firm specializing in external attack surface management and digital risk protection. Erwan Keraudy's background in finance, including roles at Societe Generale and as Deputy Chief Investment Officer at a major Indian bank, provided him with a deep understanding of information value and risk. This financial acumen, combined with Matthieu Finiasz's extensive expertise in cryptography and computer science, created a strong foundation for the company. The firm was established to address the growing threat of data leaks outside of a company's direct control.

CybelAngel operates on a subscription-based model, generating revenue through access to its SaaS platform and premium professional services. The company serves large enterprises across various sectors, including finance, manufacturing, retail, and pharmaceuticals, helping them safeguard sensitive data and intellectual property. Its business model focuses on proactively identifying and mitigating digital risks before they can be exploited. This is achieved by continuously scanning the visible, deep, and dark web, as well as connected storage devices and cloud applications, for exposed data and vulnerabilities. Since its inception, the company has secured approximately $52 million in funding over three rounds, with a significant $36 million Series B round in 2020 led by Prime Ventures and TempoCap.

The core of CybelAngel's offering is its platform that combines artificial intelligence and machine learning with human analysis to detect and manage external threats. The platform provides a suite of services including Asset Discovery and Monitoring, Data Breach Prevention, Dark Web Monitoring, and Account Takeover Prevention. It is designed to uncover shadow IT, cloud service misconfigurations, and exposed credentials that could lead to significant financial and reputational damage. For complex threats, the company offers a Special Threat Investigation service delivered by an elite team of cybersecurity analysts. A 2022 independent study highlighted that CybelAngel helps customers avoid an average of two major data breaches annually and can reduce cyber insurance premiums by 10%.
