MTS Venture Fund is investing 90 million rubles in Phishman, a Russian developer of automated systems to analyze, test and train employees in methods of protection against cyber attacks. This was reported by the press service of the company.
As a result of the agreement, Phishman’s solutions will become part of the cybersecurity managed services portfolio of MTS RED, an MTS affiliate. The press service clarified that the investments are made as part of the formation of a product portfolio that will provide coverage for all types of cyber threats through one interface.
Phishman offers a cyclical corporate learning process. The platform analyzes user behavior data on the company network and then sends out phishing emails. If employees do not recognize phishing, they are encouraged to take training courses to develop cyber literacy.
The system, among other things, collects statistics on the rate of learning and performs tests on the completed program. Monitoring and learning can then be automated for various scenarios, such as onboarding new team members.
As part of the partnership, MTS RED and Phishman will focus on technology development of Security Awareness products. The plans are to develop a solution that customers can easily integrate into a single ecosystem of their integrated protection system.
Earlier, MTS planned to invest up to 1 billion rubles in tech startups by the end of the year.
