Aura Splits Into Two World-Class Online Safety Companies

BOSTON, Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Online safety leader Aura today announced that it has split the company into two, standalone entities: Aura, the high-growth all-in-one online safety solution for individuals and families, and Pango Group, a multi-brand cybersecurity company providing robust solutions to both enterprises and consumers with a focus on comprehensive breach response, scalable security products, and integration capabilities.

"This separation creates two highly-focused companies, each equipped to address the specific consumer needs of their unique markets," said Hari Ravichandran, founder and CEO of Aura. "I am confident that, with their laser focus on these independent segments of the market, both companies are primed to thrive."

Aura's all-in-one family online safety solution has approximately $150 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) and is currently pacing to grow at more than 40% year-over-year.  Concurrently, Pango Group continues to demonstrate its financial strength with annual revenue of more than $200 million, while maintaining strong cash flow and healthy growth.
