Guardio’s platform monitors messages, emails, calls and web activity to identify phishing, scams and other malicious activity. Its technology is designed to detect threats that can move across different devices and communication channels, rather than protecting only a specific device. PR Newswire
The company said the new capital will be used to expand and strengthen its consumer protection capabilities as AI makes phishing, impersonation and other forms of online fraud easier to produce at scale. PR Newswire
Guardio said it has reached one million paying customers and $150 million in annual recurring revenue after four consecutive years of revenue growth exceeding 100%. The company previously raised an $80 million Series B round led by ION Crossover Partners in November 2025.
