At Numero, we build software that powers our democracy. Running for office is hard work – the outdated software that runs campaigns makes it even harder. We believe it doesn’t have to be that way. That’s why we built Numero, a modern financial platform that Democratic elected officials and candidates at all levels of public office can use to manage the $4.5 billion in annual contributions to their political campaigns.

Amplifier protects your employees and their devices with AI Agents. Its a single control plane that helps security teams accurately quantify risk, engage the right human at the right time and in the flow of work, and turn security findings into verified fixes — all without tickets or manual chasing. It starts with accurate asset and device ownership - a problem that quietly breaks most security workflows, ensures security tooling coverage, closes endpoint vulnerabilities, governs AI usage across the workforce, and drives security training compliance. The result: self-healing workforce security where security teams get freedom from endless follow-ups, and human risk flips into continuous, provable resilience.

The business landscape is fundamentally changing – the way and location of work has been transformed. Furthermore, with mass migration to the cloud, SaaS is vital. All this creates new risks - numerous points of access from multiple devices and multiple locations increase the attack surface. To address these attacks, your security solution should fundamentally change as well. Thats where SURF enters. SURF provides users with freedom of work, letting them interact with applications, data, and each other securely. It addresses the critical business asset neglected by security experts for years: The browser. The browser is the access frontier for everything: users, data, corporate assets, applications, development activities - and cyber criminals, too. SURF Security has transformed the browser into your strongest security asset while providing complete end-user privacy – all with full compliance. Through this centralized platform, SURF insists on identity-first access to all SaaS and corporate assets to guarantee a secured and frictionless user experience. SURF enhances security, performance, and productivity for end-users and applications – faster than ever before.
