Bala Cynwyd, PA – Nov 10th 2021, Guardinex Inc., a creator of Machine Learning technology to prevent Identity Fraud, today announced it has completed a $5M Series A Funding Round. The company received $4 Million of funding from LL Funds, LLC., an investment management firm based in Philadelphia, PA and $1 Million from an affiliate of CBC Companies based in Columbus, Ohio.

With financial transactions moving to digital channels at an ever-increasing pace, the risk associated with Identity Fraud has increased significantly.

Real time predictive risk solutions that can help businesses manage this risk will be critical to keep pace with the consumer’s needs in a rapidly changing digital world. Identity fraud has also been on the rise thanks to multiple security breaches that have placed consumer’s personally identifiable information in the hands of Fraudsters.

Guardinex uses a unique patented Machine Learning technology to leverage customer breach data from the dark web, augmented by other data sources that anticipate fraudsters’ tactics, to predict Stolen Identity Risk. Our unique real time risk scoring techniques have been shown to predict a variety of risks that stem from Identity Theft.
