Paladin Cyber

Paladin Cyber, founded in 2017 and based in San Francisco, provides cyber protection and insurance for small and mid-sized businesses and government entities in the United States. Its core product, Paladin Shield, is an all-in-one security suite covering inbox/phishing protection, browser defense, continuous vulnerability assessment, remediation and employee security training, designed to be installed in minutes by companies with no dedicated IT staff. Alongside the software, the company distributes commercial cyber insurance; businesses that adopt its software and services can obtain insurance terms with competitive premium rates.

The company now operates under the Upfort brand at meetpaladin.com, positioning itself as a unified cybersecurity and cyber insurance provider. Upfort Shield delivers modular protection layers for email, web browsing, endpoints, network and cloud, plus exposure monitoring and automated security awareness training and phishing testing. On the insurance side, Upfort works with insurers to offer single policies, group policies and affinity programs, with specialized cybercrime coverages and automated, largely digital underwriting for quick quoting. Insurance products sold through Upfort are managed by Paladin Data Insurance Corp. (dba Paladin Data Insurance Services in NY and VA, and Paladin Data Insurance Solutions in CA), a licensed agency in all 50 states and Washington, DC.
