Most threats lurk from within. Employee error accounts for 8 in 10 cyber breaches. An entire new class of startups is emerging to tackle that confounding fact. Google Ventures-backed Push Security, a London-based upstart, secured a $15M Series A to roll out a new suite of software products that not only monitor an employee’s online activity—but also warn employees before they make a critical-fail click. A note goes back to the IT team, too.

According to Hu, AI will play a formative role in restructuring the industry along these lines.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, and associated personalities are being sued for a whopping $1B.
