Osavul, Ukrainian information security company, announced a $1 million funding round led by SMRK VC fund, Ukrainian venture capital fund. Osavul develops AI-based software to protect states, businesses, and society from information threats such as disinformation, information operations, foreign information manipulation and interference.
The rise of generative AI in 2023 has made it easier and more affordable for malicious actors to conduct information operations, making it all the more important to develop cutting-edge security technologies and empower security professionals with them to analyze and counter such threats.
"We are thrilled to have SMRK fund as our partner in this journey," said Osavul's CEO Dmytro Plieshakov. "Their expertise and resources will be invaluable as we continue to develop innovative solutions to help protect democratic societies from the growing disinformation threats."
