Endari, a new cybersecurity firm spearheaded by industry stalwart Nils Puhlmann, announced its emergence from stealth mode today.
With a rich background spanning three decades in the field, Puhlmann has positioned Endari to specifically aid startups and small to medium businesses (SMBs) in developing robust cybersecurity frameworks.
The company’s launch is backed by a $4m seed funding round. This financial injection is pivotal in fueling the company’s early operations and strategic goals.
Endari introduces a unique cybersecurity maturity model designed to grow with a company’s evolving needs. This model has already been tested and validated by real-world users, ensuring its effectiveness and adaptability in the dynamic business environment that startups inhabit.
The funding will primarily be used to expand Endari’s reach and enhance its cybersecurity offerings. Puhlmann’s vision is to equip startups with scalable security solutions that ensure their operational integrity and protect sensitive customer data without the overhead of hiring full-time security experts, a challenging feat given the ongoing talent shortage in the cybersecurity domain.
Endari’s approach is comprehensive, offering a range of services from initial assessments to the implementation of advanced security protocols. This ensures that startups can focus on their core business goals while maintaining a high standard of security.
Nils Puhlmann, CEO and Founder of Endari, said, “I have been in security for a long time and have seen first-hand that most solutions and processes are only built for large enterprises, not startups.
“Startups are left behind with a patchwork of solutions that can’t be implemented properly because they don’t have the right talent and are not looking at the big picture. Essentially, they are stuck with security gaps and limited visibility, leaving them vulnerable and exposed in the current threat landscape. I created Endari because somebody needed to step up and do something to tackle this major gap in the market. There’s just too much at stake when it’s the smaller companies that larger companies rely on by utilizing their technologies and solutions. All it takes is one big breach and a startup is done – most of them won’t survive it.”
