“We are glad to receive this funding in supporting our mission to provide a comprehensive solution to protect every organization from cyber attacks,” said David Samuel, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Peris.ai.

“With constantly evolving cybersecurity threats and how there has been a significant increase in reliance on technology and connected devices, the potential for cyber attacks is more significant than ever,

“We believe Peris.ai is at the forefront in providing the right data protection solutions for every business and individual,” he added.

Peris.ai was co-founded by David Samuel (Chief Executive Officer), the former Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Ritase.com, and Deden Gobel (Chief Technology Officer), the former Cybersecurity Head of Ritase.com.

Both of them bring extensive and proven experiences in the tech industry, especially in cybersecurity.

According to Peris.ai, cyber attacks and data breaches can lead to severe consequences for businesses and individuals, including the loss of sensitive information, financial damage, and reputational
harm.

It said Peris.ai provides a solution to help these businesses and individuals in securing and strengthening their cybersecurity through comprehensive services, such as a bounty platform powered by ethical hackers, ongoing monitoring and protection of networks, systems, and data, as well as incident response and recovery services.
