WMC Global has announced the release of WMC Insight+, an agentic AI-powered platform designed to gather real-time mobile threat intelligence and protect brands and their customers from malicious digital activity. The company also strengthened its leadership team with the appointments of Manmeet Bhasin as CEO and Subra Ramesh as CTO. Backed by strategic investment from Trajectory Capital, WMC Global is positioned to advance its cybersecurity mission in an evolving mobile threat landscape.
WMC Insight+ and the emerging threat landscape
The world of text-messaging protocols is entering a new dawn with the advent of rich communication services (RCS) and over-the-top (OTT) messaging for WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessage. While these next-generation messaging services enable high-res media, read receipts and typing indicators, they also introduce new opportunities for malicious activity. For example, “smishing” attacks are exploiting RCS, OTT and iMessage users within trusted platforms.
“Trajectory Capital seeks out companies that are redefining their categories,” said Michael Frankel from Trajectory Capital. “By integrating agentic AI into their proven threat intelligence framework, WMC Global is closing the window of opportunity for fraudsters. Insight+ is exactly the type of innovation needed by large companies to stay ahead in an increasingly complex and risky digital world.”
Leveraging an agentic AI architecture, WMC Insight+ collects the latest intelligence about mobile-originated threats and provides a rich set of information about phishing URLs, phishing kits and malicious phone numbers (and their relationship to each other), as well as compromised identities. In addition to reporting this information, WMC Insight+ enables the mobile takedown and disruption of these malicious resources, shielding customers from some of today’s most destructive cyber threats.
“Through an easy-to-use interface with API support retained, customers across industries — including telecommunications, finance and retail — now have a powerful system that delivers rich data about cyber threats — especially those originating from mobile devices,” said Manmeet Bhasin, WMC Global’s new CEO. “With WMC Insight+, brands can feel safe knowing that further threat attempts are prevented and effects are mitigated.”
Expanded team, new investor
In addition to WMC Insight+, the company is also welcoming new team members. Bhasin and CTO Subra Ramesh bring additional firepower to the executive team after previously working together at Dataguise (acquired by Thomas Street Capital Partners and later merged with PKWARE), a company dedicated to bringing security and privacy to personal data across the enterprise. Bhasin has more than 20 years’ experience in enterprise technology, including as founder and CEO at Dataguise and founder and managing partner at PVG Fund, a premier venture capital fund investing in AI/ML.
Subra Ramesh comes from a strong software and security background, having worked in Silicon Valley companies such as Hewlett-Packard and Informatica. He served as SVP Products and Technology at Dataguise and chief product officer, EVP Products at PKWARE, where he managed the product evolution from early stages to maturity. He holds five U.S. patents in the areas of security and data management.
