Gardiyan Co-Founders: Yunus Şimşek, Erol Yılmaz, and Bora Avcı

Gardiyan, a systems security and enterprise IT management startup, has secured $2 million in funding. The Ankara-based company's $2 million investment round was led by APY Ventures. Founded in 2019, Gardiyan's funding round also included participation from Yeni Nesil Teknoloji GSYF, İvedik GSYF, and Ostim GSYF.

The company announced that it will use the new investment to accelerate its global growth through international marketing activities, opening overseas offices, and strategic partnerships.

Gardiyan was founded by Erol Yılmaz, Yunus Şimşek, and Bora Avcı. The company is developing an AI-powered, regulation-compliant system security platform that enables large and medium-sized organizations to manage their IT infrastructure, cybersecurity processes, and operational controls from a single center.

The platform monitors and manages computers, servers, network devices, mobile endpoints, and other connected systems in the organization's inventory from end to end. This allows organizations to see their dispersed IT components on a single screen, enabling real-time status monitoring, risk analysis, and rapid response.

The solution offered by Gardiyan focuses on meeting the critical need for centralized control and regulatory compliance, particularly in sectors with high security and regulatory requirements such as banking, energy, finance, and public administration. Thanks to its AI-powered analytical capabilities, it helps predict security vulnerabilities in advance by detecting anomalies within the system. The company reduces operational risks. At the same time, it facilitates both internal audit and external regulatory compliance processes for organizations through its audit, reporting, and traceability functions.
