Guardian Analytics Secures $4.5 Million in Series B Funding

Today's round brings the total amount of funding the company has secured to date to $5.75 million, all from Foundation Capital.

Guardian Analytics provides financial institutions such as banks, credit unions and brokerages with a comprehensive real-time risk management solution for online fraud detection, forensics and ongoing risk monitoring. Based on strong analytics and rich, predictive models of individual behavior, the unique solution automatically detects new threats and dynamically adjusts to the changing behavior of customers and fraudsters. The result is better fraud prevention through earlier detection, actionable analysis and increased visibility into suspicious online activity.

"Guardian Analytics understands the complexity of the online fraud problem and has built a solution specifically to address those challenges," said Warren Weiss, general partner, Foundation Capital. "As fraudsters continue to innovate at an alarming pace, the inadequacies of current fraud prevention solutions have been exposed. Guardian Analytics' depth of technology and breadth of product vision represents a new approach for this growing market opportunity."

"Financial institutions continue to tell us about the strategic importance of the online channel and how authentication-oriented security solutions fail to provide the level of protection they need," said Tom Miltonberger, president, CEO and founder, Guardian Analytics. "This funding allows us to aggressively enter the market to help these organizations better protect their online services and ultimately increase use. We're fortunate to have the depth of industry experience and commitment to the market that Foundation Capital offers."
