How Guardio Uses AI for Cybersecurity
Guardio leverages its expertise in scanning websites and apps to detect malicious code created with AI tools. With scammers increasingly using AI to generate phishing sites and harmful infrastructure, Guardio’s technology identifies vulnerabilities before users are affected. Its platform is already being integrated with companies like Lovable, which now scans all user-generated sites for potential risks.
Why Guardio’s $80M Funding Matters
The $80M investment enables Guardio to scale its AI security tools and expand partnerships with platforms hosting AI-generated content. Founded in 2018, the startup has tripled its valuation since its 2021 funding round but stops short of unicorn status. The new funds will support technology development, team growth, and wider adoption of its cybersecurity solutions.
