What Atakama does

Atakama is a New York-based private cybersecurity company that has built a managed browser security platform designed primarily for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and the small-to-mid-market enterprises they serve. Founded in 2017, the platform consists of a lightweight endpoint agent and a browser extension that integrates with users' existing browsers (no new browser rollout required), consolidating DNS filtering, data loss prevention (DLP), credential risk analysis, AI visibility and control, shadow IT detection, browser hardening, and extension management into a single cloud console. The company's technology stack is patent-pending in parts and is positioned around the thesis that 100% of SaaS and AI work now flows through the browser, while 95% of malware is delivered via web traffic — leaving endpoint security tools with a structural blind spot at the browser layer.

Atakama monetizes through SaaS subscriptions sold primarily via an MSP channel model, with flexible per-seat/per-browser licensing designed to preserve partner margins and integrations with RMM, PSA, and SIEM tools that fit into existing MSP workflows. Its primary customer segment is MSPs serving small-to-mid-market businesses across regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, defense), with a secondary direct enterprise motion evidenced by deployments such as Heritage Bank's 298-browser roll-out. The platform also supports compliance frameworks including HIPAA, CMMC Level 1, SOC 2, and CIS benchmarks as part of its go-to-market. The company has raised approximately $12.6M across multiple rounds since 2014, with the most recent disclosed round in March 2024, and remains a small organization of 11–50 employees.

Atakama's strategic positioning has visibly pivoted over time. Its current short description ("Enhanced Information Security Through Multi-Factor Encryption") reflects an earlier cryptographic/MFA-era product positioning, while the current product portfolio, marketing surface, and channel messaging are oriented toward browser-layer security and Shadow AI governance. The company appears to have evolved from a cryptography/encryption product company into a browser-native security platform, with AI Governance launched in May 2025 as the most recent product expansion. Leadership consists of CEO Daniel H. Gallancy, Co-Founder/COO Dimitri Nemirovsky, CRO Scott Glazer, CTO Erik Aronesty, and Director of Operations Danielle Weiss.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Island: Island offers the Enterprise Browser with built-in security, DLP, and governance controls. It directly competes with Atakama on browser-layer security, though Island delivers via a managed browser while Atakama layers on top of existing browsers.
• Menlo Security: Menlo Security provides browser isolation and web security, including DLP and threat protection at the browser layer. Overlaps directly with Atakama's DNS filtering, DLP, and web content filtering capabilities.
• Seraphic Security: Seraphic offers a browser security platform that protects existing enterprise browsers with DLP, phishing protection, and Shadow IT controls. Closely aligned with Atakama's browser-extension deployment model and target buyer.

Broad incumbents

• Zscaler: Zscaler is a leading SSE/SASE platform that includes cloud browser isolation, CASB, and DLP. While much broader in scope than Atakama, it competes for browser-layer and SaaS security budgets and has far greater scale and channel reach.
• Palo Alto Networks (Prisma Access Browser): Palo Alto Networks bundles Prisma Access Browser with its broader SASE/Prisma platform, directly addressing the browser-security category. It competes for enterprise budgets and benefits from incumbent platform leverage.
• Netskope: Netskope's SSE platform includes CASB, DLP, and web security with browser-level controls. Overlaps with Atakama on Shadow IT/SaaS visibility and DLP, and is well-established with enterprise buyers.
• Lookout: Lookout provides a data-centric cloud security platform with mobile and endpoint-to-cloud telemetry including browser/web protection. Comparable on browser-layer visibility and SaaS data governance.
• Cisco Secure Access: Cisco's SSE/SASE portfolio (Secure Access, Umbrella) covers DNS filtering, web security, and DLP. Competes for the same browser-layer and SaaS security budgets and benefits from enterprise-wide Cisco footprint.
• Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps: Microsoft bundles CASB, browser controls in Edge for Business, and DLP within Defender/M365. As a native platform with deep endpoint and identity data, it is a structural threat to third-party browser-security tools including Atakama.

Emerging players

• Huntress: Huntress delivers managed cybersecurity aimed at MSPs serving SMB/mid-market, including EDR, identity, and now SIEM. It is a relevant comp for Atakama's MSP-first GTM and could expand into browser security as a category extension.
