Have you heard? 4 Years to $100m, followed by 100% year over year growth achieving $200m in ARR, and now a Series D funding round closed for $250m (led by Wellington Management.) This is a moment for us no doubt. However, the real lasting impact is when we can help so many people protect themselves from the advanced threats that are coming in every day from cyber criminals. I am humbled and so appreciative for being a part of this journey and working with such an amazing team here at Abnormal Security. Go ahead, be human. #cybersecurity #AI #GoaheadBehuman
