xorlab Raises €5M to Expand Sovereign Email Security Across Europe

According to Tech.eu, the funding arrives as European organisations look to reduce their dependence on US-based cybersecurity vendors while facing more advanced email threats. AI has made it easier for attackers to produce convincing phishing and BEC campaigns at scale, and such messages can carry no malware or known malicious signatures, making them hard for conventional filters to detect. Regulations including the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and NIS2 are also raising requirements around the resilience of digital supply chains, particularly for financial institutions and critical-infrastructure operators.

Daniel Andres, Founding Partner at Spicehaus Partners, said, per EU-Startups, that xorlab has built differentiated technology addressing a mission-critical problem, validated by some of Europe's most demanding enterprise customers.
