For a robust and efficient defence against potent cyberattacks, it is paramount for tech-oriented companies to harness AI for early detection and prevention of security threats. With its AI-powered security solution and precision through real-time insights on threats, Arch0 is well-placed to become a distinct cloud security platform in the industry.”

For the longer term, its vision extends further as it plans to rapidly evolve its offerings to address the complex security challenges faced by larger enterprises.  

The start-up plans to allocate the raised capital toward attracting and onboarding exceptional talent for its core team. Additionally, a substantial portion of the funds will be deployed towards advancing the use of AI in cloud security. Arch0 also plans on strengthening its marketing and educational initiatives to educate users about the nuances of cloud security, the role of AI, and best practices for safeguarding digital assets.
