The idea behind Ionic Security was initially triggered by the company founder’s frustration in trying to keep his social media settings private and secure.
“About four years ago, I created a little project called Social Fortress,” Adam Ghetti, founder and CTO of Ionic Security, told eWEEK. “That project came into existence because [Facebook CEO] Mark Zuckerberg kept changing the privacy settings on Facebook, and I kept getting frustrated that I had to keep resetting the settings.”
Total funding to date for the security startup now totals $78.1 million as it builds out its vision of creating a new enterprise security policy platform for data security.
