Our story

2015

From Shazam to Sifts

See details

Red Sift Co-Founders Rahul and Randal are problem solvers. They played a big part in designing the technical architecture of Shazam, and then founded their first startup Apsmart. But they were looking to do something more.

2016

The Red Sift platform is born

See details

When Rahul and Randal set out to build the Red Sift platform, it wasn't because there weren't enough cybersecurity solutions on the market. It was because despite this, too many organizations were still struggling to use available data to fix vulnerabilities in their infrastructure.

2017

On DMARC, get set, go

See details

Email security protocol DMARC protects against exact domain impersonation, a major cause of phishing attacks. Although the DMARC protocol was created in 2012, many businesses didn’t know it existed, and those that did found it hard to implement without the right technology to help. This technology didn’t exist. Yet.
