While building their previous companies TapCommerce and Attentive, Brian Long and Andrew Jones were alarmed by the growth in AI scams targeting high profile executives.  

Any person with a public social profile could have their image and mannerisms replicated with just seconds of data. Many companies have been targeted by enormous deepfake attacks just this year.   

At the same time, Brian and Andrew were underwhelmed by the existing products focused on teaching employees about security. These new threats required a new approach to employee education and organizational readiness.  

Equipped with what they learned about personalization and software from their prior business, the team set out to build the market’s leading AI training product.
