OptioLabs is about keeping data safe — be it from mobile malware or office eavesdroppers

Cybersecurity usually deals with protecting what’s happening inside a computer. For OptioLabs, however, the idea of keeping data from getting loose is a little more tangible.

The Camden Yards-based company’s products draw protection based on whether a screen was left open, or a specific app on an Android phone is being attacked.

“It’s almost like using a surgical scalpel to get to a disease,” said CEO Gregg Smith. “That’s the type of fidelity we have with this, which is really important to some of our customers.”

Following a $10 million Series A funding round in 2014, the company, which is a subsidiary of Allied Minds, has added nine executives. Smith last led Bethesda-based KoolSpan. CTO Bryan Glancey was a security executive atSamsung. Bill Anderson came on in the acquisition of his former company, Oculis Labs. The company also added Deon Maez and Patrick Geritz to expand its customer base in December.
