US-based cybersecurity analytics technology provider Uptycs has secured $30m in a series B round that included Comcast Ventures, the corporate venture capital vehicle for mass media group Comcast.
VC firm Sapphire Ventures led the round, which included cybersecurity-focused VC fund ForgePoint Capital. Jai Das, president and managing director of Sapphire Ventures, is taking a board seat at the company in connection with its investment.
Uptycs has created a database that relies on SQL, the programming language generally utilised in databases, to help analysts track activity and perform functions across cloud platforms, data centres and endpoints.
Ganesh Pai, founder and CEO of Uptycs CEO, said: “By modelling the domain of endpoint and cloud security using relational database techniques and real-time pipeline processing, we have created an innovative SQL-powered security analytics platform for visibility and accelerated time to insight.
“It is very gratifying to hear a user’s a-ha moment when they realise the possibilities of the Uptycs’ platform are only limited by one’s imagination.”
The company had raised $3m in seed capital from Comcast Ventures, Genacast Ventures and Founder Collective before Comcast Ventures and ForgePoint Capital co-led a $10m series A round disclosed in mid-2018.
