Descriptiontext

Agari is an email identity and security company founded in 2009 and headquartered in Foster City, California. The company operates an integrated cloud email security platform that combines artificial intelligence, threat intelligence, and automated remediation to protect enterprise organizations from phishing, malware, impersonation, account takeover, and data loss attacks that bypass native Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace protections. Core platform components include Cloud Email Protection, Suspicious Email Analysis, DMARC Protection, and Threat Intelligence Services, with proprietary AI-powered inspection that deconstructs emails and files to their lowest parts for real-time analysis, plus adaptive redaction that enforces regulatory policies such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and NIST CSF.

The product architecture relies on API-based integration with Microsoft 365, Microsoft Exchange, and Google Workspace, augmented by a technology partnership with Cryoserver for tamper-evident email archiving. Agari sells to large enterprise customers including Adobe, Informatica, Merck & Co., a Fortune 200 mining company, and a large Los Angeles-based credit union, spanning technology, pharmaceutical, financial services, and mining verticals. GTM motion is enterprise-focused with direct field sales, an inside sales support layer, a channel partner program, and content marketing through a research blog, threat advisories, case studies, and webinars.

The company has raised approximately $84.7 million across seven disclosed venture rounds from 2009 through 2018, with cumulative Series C tranches of $15M (2014), $22M (2016), and $40M (2018) led by Scale Venture Partners, Norwest, and Goldman Sachs Growth Equity, respectively. A 2019 Employee Stock Option Fund transaction suggests preparation for a liquidity event, consistent with the company's subsequent integration under Fortra (formerly HelpSystems). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with no free or self-serve tier evident.
