Founded in 2019, Protectium was built on a simple belief: everyone deserves world-class digital security — not just corporations with big IT budgets.
The cybersecurity industry has long prioritized enterprise clients, leaving individuals and small businesses with inadequate or overpriced solutions. We set out to change that.
Protectium was founded by a team of security researchers and engineers who had spent years building defenses for Fortune 500 companies. We took that same technology and made it accessible to everyone.
Today, we protect over 2 million devices in 80+ countries, with a detection rate that rivals — and often exceeds — industry incumbents that cost 10x more.
Every decision we make is guided by these four principles.
Every feature, every update, every decision begins with one question: does this make our users safer?
We publish independent test results, security audits, and even our own vulnerability disclosures publicly.
We keep our prices accessible because we believe security is a right, not a premium feature for the few.
Threats evolve daily. Our AI models retrain continuously to stay ahead of the adversaries, not react to them.
A timeline of our journey from startup to global security leader.
Nina and Alex quit their corporate jobs with a laptop, a mission, and $200K in seed funding. The first version of the detection engine was written in 3 months.
Crossed 100,000 protected devices and received AV-TEST certification with a 99.7% detection score — higher than products with 10 years of history.
Launched our zero-day AI detection system and raised $12M Series A. Priya joined to lead AI research full-time.
Launched iOS and Android support, and released Privacy Guard — our tracker and spyware blocker. Reached 500K users.
Launched our enterprise-grade Pro plan with EDR capabilities. First major business contracts in finance and healthcare sectors.
Operating in 80+ countries with a team of 140 security researchers, engineers, and support specialists — all united by the same mission.
We're always looking for passionate people who want to make the internet safer for everyone. Remote-first, mission-driven, and growing fast.
