Ironscales, a Tel Aviv, Israel-based automated phishing prevention, detection and response platform provider, secured a $6.5m Series A funding.

The round was led by K1 Investment Management, with participation from existing investor RDC.

Its multi-layered and automated approach to prevent, detect and respond to phishing emails combines micro-learning phishing simulation and awareness training (IronSchool), with mailbox-level phishing detection (IronSights), automated incident response (IronTraps) and real-time automated actionable intelligence sharing (Federation) technologies.

The company will open its North American headquarters in Q1 2018. Its VP of Sales will be based in Atlanta, while 10-15 new jobs in marketing, business development and HR will be hired at its new office location. R&D will remain in Israel.
