Initially founded in 2014 as a free WiFi service, WiJungle pivoted to cybersecurity and now offers AI and machine learning-based security solutions, including network firewall, web application firewall, data leak prevention, load balancer and vulnerability assessment. The company caters to clients in various verticals, such as hospitality, defence, education, healthcare and transportation.

In April of last year, WiJungle raised seed funding at a valuation of $22 million from global venture capital firm SOSV. The startup’s recent hiring plans stand out amid the mass layoffs that various tech companies have resorted to due to the global economic slowdown.
