In a world where data vanishes about as fast as a politician’s promises, VanishID is flipping things around, only not the way you’re thinking. This isn’t about hiding. It’s about reclaiming. It’s about CEOs, execs, and the people behind the curtain who make things move, standing tall without the bullseye painted on their backs.
Let’s be real. Cybersecurity today? It’s like locking your front door while leaving your life story on the front lawn. Enter VanishID. You might remember them as Picnic Corporation, yeah, they’ve been out here protecting the people who keep enterprise breathing. But like any great story, the name had to evolve. VanishID doesn’t just sound sharper, it is sharper. A name that says exactly what it does. Making your digital breadcrumbs disappear while you focus on the main course, all while running the show.
April 22 wasn’t just another Tuesday. It was the day VanishID dropped the mic with a $10 million funding round. Dell Technologies Capital led the charge, joined by Crosslink Capital, Rally Ventures, Energy Impact Partners, Bright Pixel Capital, and Lockstep Ventures. And when you’ve got heavyweights like Mark McLaughlin, ex-CEO of Palo Alto Networks, backing you? That’s not just money, that’s validation.
CEO Matt P. has been preaching this gospel for a minute: 93% of C-suites have their home address out there. 99.97%? Already caught up in a breach. That’s not a stat, that’s an epidemic. And VanishID’s been the antidote, one line of code at a time. Zero churn to date. Let me repeat that for the folks in the back, zero. In a world built on subscription fatigue, that’s more impressive than a unicorn status.
But here’s where it gets spicy. They’re not just playing defense. This is agentic AI on the offensive, removing PII, scouring the dark web, shutting down fake socials, sniffing out misconfigurations, and shielding devices like a digital bodyguard. Their CEO Protection offering? That’s next level. Covering up to 25 family and close associates because, let’s face it, if you’re coming for the boss, you’re watching everyone close.
And shoutout to Lior Shamir for taking the GTM game up a notch since October. When the team clicks, the market listens.
So here we are. VanishID, not just making data vanish but making noise. Real noise. And if you’re still thinking cybersecurity is about walls and locks, you’re trailing the pack. This is about removing the target. That’s not just smart. That’s survival.
