# Riot

> Riot is a subscription software company that treats employees as a live security surface rather than an annual compliance chore.

Founded in 2020 after Benjamin Netter watched colleagues fall for an internal phishing test, Riot says it now protects more than two million employees at over 2,000 organizations.
