US-base cyber threat detection software developer Red Canary has secured $6.1m in a series A round featuring cybersecurity services provider Kyrus.
Kyrus, which had previously led Red Canary’s $2.5m seed round in March 2015, was joined in the round by venture capital firms Access Venture Partners and Noro Moseley Partners and VC fund Service Provider Capital.
Red Canary’s software studies all activity from an organisation’s endpoints to look for system and user activity patterns that indicate a cyber threat or attack. When such a pattern is found a Red Canary analyst investigates and if necessary will supply the information and tools a customer needs to stop the attack.
