Rubica offers an app that pairs a stack of security tools with U.S.-based human cyber analysts who provide 24/7 threat hunting, a private network, and active blocking of unknown threats. The company spun out of Concentric Advisors in 2016 and began selling its product in 2017; it employs about 25 people and has a second office in San Francisco. Rubica targets individuals and high-net-worth families, aiming to deliver enterprise-level protections tailored for personal use. The team emphasizes human operators alongside automation, arguing that people are necessary to counter rapidly evolving attacks. Rubica has raised more than $13 million from angels and venture capital firms and completed a Series A in March 2018. The company is iterating on its user interface to give customers more insight, data, visuals, and controls over the protections performed on their behalf. Rubica provides personal and family cybersecurity through an app that installs in minutes and runs discreetly in the background, leveraging customized machine-learning tools. The company pairs the app with 24/7 access to cybersecurity experts who have backgrounds at organizations such as the NSA, the U.S. Navy and Scotland Yard. Rubica was launched from Concentric Advisors and is led by founder and CEO Roderick Jones. It operates out of San Francisco, CA and Seattle, WA. The startup intends to use its latest funding to expand the reach of its service. No revenue or user metrics were disclosed in the article.
