Living Security, founded in June 2017 by Drew and Ashley Rose in Austin, delivers gamified cybersecurity training with flagship products like Cyber Escape Room and CyberEscape Online. The company has expanded into human risk management with its Unify platform, which uses behavioral data and analytics to score human risk and deliver predictive interventions. Living Security works with more than 100 large enterprises, including CVS Health, Mastercard, Verizon, MassMutual, Biogen, AmerisourceBergen, Hewlett Packard, JPMorgan and Target. In 2020 the company tripled revenue and headcount and more than doubled its customer count; ARR grew nearly 200% last year, though the company declined to provide hard revenue figures. The startup currently has 55 employees and aims to reach 90 by year-end. Living Security plans to use new capital to expand its geographic reach and scale both direct and channel sales, with the stated goal of turning employees from the greatest risk into cybersecurity assets. Living Security offers an online cybersecurity training platform that leverages gamified learning with live-action immersive storylines, role-based micro modules, and reporting that includes human risk scoring. Led by CEO Ashley Rose, the company focuses on training enterprise workforces to protect sensitive data and secure their organizations. The platform is used by over 70 large enterprises to train their global workforce. The company raised $5M in a Series A round to support its growth. Living Security intends to use the funds to expand SaaS product development and grow its sales and marketing functions. The financing and customer traction indicate an emphasis on scaling product and commercial operations. Living Security builds human-focused, science-based security awareness training that integrates threat intelligence to train on the most relevant user-facing threats and delivers metrics to measure program effectiveness. Its original product, the Living Security Escape Room, reached thousands of people across the U.S., and the company recently launched Cyber Escape, a security awareness training platform. Led by CEO Ashley Rose, the company emphasizes user engagement and reinforcement of positive security behaviors. Living Security is working with over 50 companies, including many in the Fortune 500, as part of its commercial traction. The company closed a $1.25M seed funding round to support continued product growth and go-to-market execution. The funding is intended to accelerate product development and market expansion.
