Mimic

Mimic develops enterprise defense technology specifically focused on combating ransomware and cyber extortion attacks. The company was founded by industry experts from organizations including Citibank, Walmart, Vodafone, Raytheon, F5, and the U.S. Department of Defense, with team members who previously developed data leak prevention technology and bot defense solutions. The company's approach centers on detecting and deflecting ransomware attacks earlier than traditional defense mechanisms, providing incident responders with additional time to cut off threat actor access while protecting the organization. This capability addresses the destructive impact of cyber extortion on businesses, hospitals, and essential civil services. Mimic's technology is designed for enterprise environments, particularly targeting Fortune 500 and Global 2000 organizations where ransomware represents a critical security priority. The solution integrates into existing security infrastructure to provide specialized protection against extortion-based attacks. The company is backed by prominent venture capital firms including Ballistic Ventures, GV (Google Ventures), Menlo Ventures, Team8, Wing, and Shield Capital. Board members include Ted Schlein from Kleiner Perkins and Ballistic Ventures, and Kevin Mandia, founder of Mandiant, reflecting the company's focus on addressing ransomware as a high-priority threat for CISOs and security teams.
