    SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwired - May 24, 2016) - Agari, a leading cybersecurity company, today announced it raised $22 million in Series D funding to accelerate development and deployment of the Agari Email Trust Platform™, the industry's only solution that stops targeted phishing attacks by understanding the legitimate identity of email senders and detecting imposter emails. With this round of funding, Agari has raised $44.7 million in total. The company's customers now include many of the world's largest enterprises, including six of the top 10 banks and five of the world's leading social media networks. Norwest Venture Partners led the funding, with all existing investors contributing to the round.

    "In order to develop our cyber security investment thesis, we regularly interview CISOs (Chief Information Security Officers) to understand their top security concerns. We consistently heard from these customers that major breaches were being attributed to targeted phishing attacks," said Rama Sekhar, partner at Norwest Venture Partners. "When we searched for an investment opportunity in today's crowded security market that had a proven technology to meet this challenge, along with a track record of reliability, continued innovation, and high customer satisfaction, Agari stood alone."

    Targeted phishing attacks -- including targeted email attacks, spear phishing and business email compromise -- pose the greatest threat to enterprise security today. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reported that since January 2015, business email compromise incidents rose by 270 percent and amounted to more than $2.3 billion in losses in less than two years. Further highlighting this growing problem, Verizon's 2016 Data Breach Investigations Report found that 30 percent of targeted phishing attacks were opened by recipients in 2015. Agari's unique patented technology, built on behavioral 'trust models', protects enterprises and their customers from email-based data breaches, financial theft, malware delivery, credential theft and ransomware. The Agari Email Trust Platform protects more than 85 percent of consumer mailboxes in the United States and analyzes more than 10 billion messages per day. In 2015, Agari prevented 3.5 billion fraudulent emails from being delivered.
