Apozy

Apozy is a San Francisco-based cybersecurity company founded in April 2014. The company develops browser security technology designed to protect users from web-based threats that originate within cloud applications and trusted web platforms, rather than through traditional attack vectors like email or network perimeters. Apozy's core product, branded as "Airlock," focuses on neutralizing next-generation attacks that deliver malicious URLs and content through legitimate cloud applications such as SaaS tools and collaboration platforms. The premise is that conventional security controls — including proxies, email filters, and cloud security products — are not equipped to detect or block threats that are embedded within trusted web applications in real time. The company targets organizations whose users are exposed to web-borne threats that bypass traditional perimeter defenses. Their approach centers on inline browser-level protection, intercepting and analyzing web content as it is rendered, rather than relying on upstream filtering. This allows the platform to address dynamically transformed malicious content that evades signature- or reputation-based detection. Apozy positions its technology as privacy-respecting and designed to operate without disrupting end-user workflows. The company is venture-backed and has historically focused on the intersection of browser security and cloud application usage, addressing a gap between endpoint security tools and cloud access security brokers (CASBs).
