Dune Security offers a User Adaptive Risk Management platform that replaces traditional security awareness training with automated, personalized solutions. The platform quantifies user risk through behavioral analytics and simulations (phishing, smishing, vishing, deepfakes), then adapts training and security controls in real-time to prevent human-layer breaches. Key features include continuous user monitoring, risk scoring, and automated remediation through integrations with IAM, SEG, EDR, and DLP tools. Dune aims to reduce administrative overhead and enhance organizational resilience by focusing interventions on high-risk users, making security more effective and less disruptive. The company is backed by notable investors like Craft Ventures and Toba Capital.
