Cyware Secures $10 Million to Optimize its Virtual Cyber Fusion Solution

Cyware's vision is to create new automation capabilities so that security teams can be more responsive, efficient, and useful

FREMONT, CA: Cyware, the leading provider of cyber fusion solutions, raised $10 million in Series A round of financing to optimize its threat intelligence automation, threat response, and security orchestration solutions. This round was led by the Prelude Fund (the venture practice at Mercato Partners) and Tanium, a unified endpoint management, and security provider. Cyware's seed investors, Emerald Development Managers and Great Road Holdings, also participated in the round.

"This latest financing round is an important milestone in Cyware's journey. It strengthens our ability to continue our growth and become a more innovative, customer-centric company," said Anuj Goel, CEO, and co-founder of Cyware. "As organizations begin to understand and address cybersecurity realities amid COVID-19, we've grown aggressively and expanded our solution and client portfolio to meet their evolving security needs. We wanted visionary investors who understand cybersecurity and can be our partners for long-term growth."

Cyware's virtual cyber fusion solution is the next evolution of Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR). It emphasizes proactive engagement as the core of the cybersecurity strategy. The company's goal is to help change the ecosystem of cybersecurity and enhance security operations by removing security team silos within organizations. The rise of distributed workforces, rapidly evolving cybercriminals, and rising security threats make Cyware's solution even more relevant today.

Cyware will use the capital to expand its sales and marketing teams, double down on customer success, and continue to use case innovation and product enhancements to its situational awareness platform (CSAP), threat intelligence eXchange (CTIX), security orchestration layer (CSOL) and fusion and threat response (CFTR).

"We are thrilled to partner with Cyware on their mission to better predict and prevent attacks through cyber fusion and a collective defense," said Zach Sivertson, managing director at Prelude. "Because cyberattacks are increasingly sophisticated and damaging and the pandemic is driving long-term remote work, Cyware's proactive solutions deliver decision makers the tools and protections they need."

Cyware's "smarter automation" balances machine speed with human insight and analysis. Other innovations from Cyware focus on flexibility for integrations and other environments, such as cloud, hybrid, and on-premises solutions making collaboration and intel sharing easier and more accessible for security teams.
