Company Overview:

Dune Security is replacing legacy phishing simulations and security awareness training tools with a unified, automated User Adaptive Risk Management platform. It delivers User Adaptive Testing, Training, and Security to reduce administrative burden and mitigate risk. Unlike one-size-fits-all SAT models, Dune tailors security measures to each individual using intrinsic data (role, tenure), behavioral insights (red team testing), and analytics from a broad range of integrations (IDAM, EDR, DLP). Dune leverages the industry's most comprehensive risk scoring system to holistically assess individual risk, enabling automated, targeted remediation for high-risk users while allowing low-risk users to stay productive. This data-driven approach enhances security efficacy, streamlines operations, and strengthens overall organizational resilience.

Backed by Toba Capital, Ventures, Craft Ventures, MassMutual Ventures, Alumni Ventures, Firestreak Ventures, and Antler, we empower CISOs to proactively manage human risk—the leading cause of cybersecurity breaches—and build safer, more resilient organizations.
