RiskIQ, Inc. was a cyber security company that was based in San Francisco, California.[1] It provided cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) for organizations to detect phishing, fraud, malware, and other online security threats.
The company was co-founded in 2009 by Lou Manousos, Chris Kiernan, and David Pon. It received $10 million of Series A funding from Summit Partners in February 2013 and $25 million in series B funding from Battery Ventures in May 2014.[2][3] RiskIQ was a member of the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA).[4]
RiskIQ monitored advertising networks for malware (malvertising) and spyware[5] and also provided mobile app security services.[6] In May 2018, Standard Bank deployed RiskIQ's software to automate the threat analysis of brand infringement, cybercrime and web-based attacks against its digital presence.[7]
RiskIQ was acquired by Microsoft in July 2021 for more than $500,000,000 (~$535 million in 2022).[8]
