Executive Summary

DTEX Systems leads its marketing with AI risk management, but its hardest-to-match asset is the older insider risk business the new messaging sidelines. Mohan Koo founded the company in Australia in 2000 to build endpoint security software, and it has focused on insider risk since the mid-2000s. DTEX InTERCEPT for Government holds a FedRAMP Moderate authorization with one listed reuse, an entry substitutes without an authorization cannot offer where procurement requires one. CapitalG, Alphabet's growth fund, led the 2024 round that brought total funding to 138 million dollars. The new AI activity monitoring captures AI prompts and shadow AI use, and appears designed to extend the same endpoint-forwarder architecture rather than deploy a separate agent.
