PIXM Security

PIXM Security is a cybersecurity company that specializes in anti-phishing technology powered by artificial intelligence, specifically computer vision. The company was founded by Chris Cleveland, who developed the initial computer vision AI engine during his machine learning graduate studies at Columbia University's SEAS program. PIXM's core technology is designed to detect and stop phishing attacks at the point of click — meaning it intervenes at the moment a user attempts to access a phishing page, rather than relying solely on inbox-level filtering. The company's approach addresses phishing threats that occur beyond the email inbox, targeting browser-based phishing attempts that may bypass traditional email security controls. This includes phishing links delivered through messaging platforms and social media, as evidenced by their research into large-scale phishing campaigns on platforms like Facebook Messenger. PIXM offers an "Actualization Test" as a free assessment offering, suggesting a product evaluation or proof-of-concept mechanism for prospective customers. The company targets enterprise customers and operates with a channel partnership model, as indicated by the presence of a dedicated Channel Manager role. PIXM has received backing from notable cybersecurity figures, including Ron Gula (Founder of Tenable Networks) and Chris Wysopal (Co-Founder and CTO of Veracode), and has raised over $5 million in venture funding. The company has been featured in media outlets including Dark Reading, TechRepublic, and HelpNet Security.
