Phishing and ransomware attacks continue to increase and are forecast to become more effective and damaging with the introduction of artificial intelligence. Token’s next-generation MFA solution is an easy-to-implement, passwordless, FIDO 2-compliant, biometric wearable that stops phishing attacks and data breaches. The Token smart ring is the only authentication device that solves the vulnerabilities in BYOD approaches and legacy MFA products, and has already won five industry awards for innovation and security.

“People are the leading cause of data breaches, and you see this play out almost daily as new ransomware attacks are revealed to have been caused by the human failings inherent in legacy MFA,” said Token CEO, John Gunn. “Our product is engineered to be implemented in just hours and can be set up by end users in minutes to help CISOs and sysadmins quickly address this issue.”

“Token checks all the boxes of a great investment for Grand Oaks – a large addressable market and a disruptive technology – which makes continued investment an easy decision for us,” said Grand Oaks Capital Chief Investment Officer, David Bovenzi. “We have also seen great strides made by the Token team in addressing market needs, which is why we are confident in investing additional working capital to accelerate the company’s growth.”
