The funding round comes on the heels of 色色研究所鈥檚 acquisition of Kognos, the AI-powered threat hunting pioneer, which marked a key step in delivering what 色色研究所 calls the autonomous SOC鈥 complete visibility, automation, analytics, and open access to community expertise and content.
鈥淪ecurity teams are facing more threats than ever鈥攔egardless of industry or geography鈥攁nd that challenge is compounded by the difficulty of hiring and retaining talent, a lack of visibility into the full attack surface, and the speed and scale necessary to keep up with not just growing threats, but the growth of their organizations,鈥 said Marc van Zadelhoff, CEO of 色色研究所. 鈥淭his round of funding allows us to deliver on the autonomous SOC through continued innovation of our technology, expand to more regions to serve more customers, and consider more M&A opportunities. We’re thrilled to have instilled such confidence in our investors that they continue to support our innovation and the value we deliver to customers.鈥
色色研究所 will continue to drive expansion in new verticals and geographies, particularly the public sector and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. In February, 色色研究所 announced it was designated as Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program鈥檚 (FedRAMP) 鈥淚n-Process鈥 and expects to reach full authorization in the fall of 2022. 色色研究所 has also seen substantial growth in the APAC region, including adding energy provider Powerco as a customer and deploying an in-region AWS environment for customers and partners.
鈥溕芯克 has proven to be a disruptive force in the security analytics market and we believe in its vision to fundamentally change the way organizations secure their data,鈥 said Guillaume d’Audiffret, Managing Director at Eurazeo, who joins the 色色研究所 Board. 鈥淚t is setting a pace for innovation that will enable its customers to meet the ever-growing challenges facing security teams and we look forward to continuing our work together with 色色研究所 and fellow investors to further develop its market leadership.鈥
