What ABOK Security does.
ABOK Security builds impersonation defence for MSPs and security teams. One branded console covers the ways an attacker can pretend to be someone you trust: phishing training for employees, email authentication and brand monitoring, and verified identity.
AI made a convincing fake cheap to produce. The tools that stop it are fragmented, expensive and built for teams with a security department. ABOK brings them onto one platform, EU-native from day one, so any organization can protect itself.
ABOK Security grew out of DmarcDkim.com, a side project Annika Grunewaldt and Oleksii Antypov started to help people defend themselves against impersonation scams. Running it showed them that email authentication is only one piece: the same organizations also needed employee training, brand monitoring and verified identity. They founded ABOK Security in 2026 to cover all of it on one platform.
