Maro is a cybersecurity company focused on "Cognitive Security," a behavioral approach to protecting employees from AI-related risks, social engineering, and human-driven security incidents. The platform centers on monitoring and governing how employees interact with AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, and Perplexity. It provides visibility into workforce AI usage activity, including what data is being shared with these tools, and enforces AI usage policies in real time. Core capabilities include: - Observability: Tracking AI app usage, use cases, and data sharing across the workforce - Behavioral guidance: Redirecting users toward secure behaviors at the moment of risk, rather than relying solely on periodic training - Proactive policy creation: Defining and deploying behavioral safeguards that adapt in real time based on organizational context - Deception defense: Detecting and blocking cognitive hijacking attempts, including browser-based manipulation and social engineering - Human risk prevention: Intercepting insecure behaviors tied to cognitive manipulation or poor security habits Maro's approach is grounded in the premise that traditional security training fails because people under cognitive pressure do not behave rationally. The platform targets data protection concerns such as PII, financial data, and payment information being inadvertently shared with AI chatbots. The company references statistics from sources including the Verizon DBIR and IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report to contextualize the human element in security incidents. The target market is organizations with distributed workforces using AI productivity tools.
