More Control Over Email
Sublime’s founder and CEO Joshua Kamdjou said that the key was empowering email security professionals everywhere was to collaborate and have more control — from large security teams at well-resourced enterprises to independent researchers and solo defenders. As Kamdjou explained:“Security professionals are used to having control and being able to collaborate in every area of security but email. It’s time for that to change. We want to make it easy for anyone to secure their organization from email-based threats, whether you’re a large enterprise, nonprofit or small business. There are so many more bad actors than good guys trying to keep people safe. If we open it up and let everyone contribute, we actually stand a fighting chance.”
Company Touts “Industry Firsts”
Sublime notes that it is changing the way the security community approaches email defense, touting a number of “industry firsts”:Sublime Secures Funding Boost
Sublime recently raised $9.8 million in funding from Decibel, which led the funding round along with participation from Slow Ventures and others.The company was created by former Department of Defense offensive security professional Joshua Kamdjou along with co-founder and former Optimizely and Alto growth head Ian Thiel.Explaining his company’s interest in Sublime, Dan Nguyen-Huu, a partner at Decibel, said:"Email security has always been a passive wait, see, and catch game with black box software you have no control over. Even if your own security team finds a phishing attack, you’re typically at the mercy of your vendor acting on it. Josh and Ian are turning this paradigm on its head with a fully transparent, self-serve platform that enlists the wisdom of the entire community to tackle email threats proactively. Sublime lets security leads across organizations collaborate for mutual defense."
