US-based cybersecurity technology supplier developer Jask has raised $25m in a series B round featuring Dell Technologies Capital, the corporate venturing vehicle owned by computing hardware producer Dell.
The round was led by venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and also featured fellow VC firms Battery Ventures, TenEleven Ventures and Vertical Venture Partners.
Founded in 2015, Jask has built an automated cybersecurity platform that helps security operations centres (SOCs) protect enterprise IT systems.
The platform prioritises security threats through artificial intelligence and machine learning, presenting them to human SOC analysts via a notifications screen.
The cash will help drive recruitment in all departments as Jask looks to refine its platform and build out international sales channels. Ted Schlein, general partner at Kleiner Perkins, has joined the company’s board of directors.
Dell Technologies Capital and TenEleven co-led Jask’s $12m series A round in June 2017 with participation from Battery Ventures and Vertical Venture Partners, after Battery had led a $2m seed round featuring Vertical and undisclosed angel investors the previous year.
