WINSTON-SALEM – The Winston-Salem-based cybersecurity startup Salem Cyber has closed $250,000 in seed funding, with plans to add strategic hires to help expand capability.
Salem Cyber’s product, Salem, is best thought of as an AI cybersecurity analyst, according to the company’s co-founder and CEO, Jon Bagg, who spoke with WRAL TechWire earlier this week.
“It’s designed to do a job similar to a cybersecurity analyst, not to replace people, but to empower people,” said Bagg. “There’s too much noise in the system, so what we’re trying to do is give organizations a way to prioritize the areas of threat.”
While a company’s existing cybersecurity workforce can focus on the priority areas, said Bagg, the company’s clients can “allow Salem to sift through the others.”
