Social Links Closes €2.6M in Funding to Expand AI-Driven Digital Risk Protection Platform

Social Links, a Netherlands-based leader in open source intelligence (OSINT), has secured €2.6 million in follow-on funding to accelerate development of its AI-enabled digital security solutions. The round was led by Yellow Rocks!, with continued support from AltaIR Capital and Smart Partnership Capital.

The company will use the new investment to scale its AI Defender Autopilot technology, which detects scams, fraud attempts, and brand misinformation across email, messaging platforms, and social channels. By combining automated monitoring with OSINT analytics, Social Links aims to provide organizations with continuous protection against rapidly evolving AI-powered threats.

Social Links currently supports more than 450 customers in over 90 countries, including government agencies and global enterprises, and has maintained strong growth as demand rises for tools that can quickly identify malicious networks and digital manipulation campaigns. The latest funding will help the company expand globally and introduce new AI-based risk capabilities designed to safeguard brand reputation and combat sophisticated online fraud.
