Ransomware Hurts
Mimic builds the leading enterprise defense against ransomware and cyber extortion
Fighting Extortion
We are exclusively focused on combating cyber extortion because we've seen its incredibly destructive impact on organizations. The effect of cyber extortion goes beyond mere disruption—it can devastate businesses, shut down hospitals putting lives in danger, and disrupt essential civil services like the water supply.
Our vision is a future where companies can operate free of the constant threat of cyber extortion - where paying ransoms to keep afloat is no longer the norm.
