Founded in 2017, New York-headquartered Blackbird.AI helps organisations detect and respond to threats that can cause reputational and financial harm.
“Human perception has become the latest frontier in cyberattacks, manifesting as misinformation and narrative manipulation.
“This emerging threat is impacting a broad range of sectors and professionals, from strategic communicators and risk managers to information security teams,” explains Wasim Khaled, CEO and co-founder of Blackbird.AI.
“We aim to help organisations understand and address the potential threats posed by perception manipulation, which often fly under the radar, while simultaneously providing them with significant strategic and competitive leverage.”
With the new funds, the company plans to scale up its marketing and sales efforts and bring in more customers, drive awareness in key industries, and enhance its platform.
