Vorstack, a US-based provider of interactive security platforms, has raised $5.2m to develop a cybersecurity platform that speeds discovery time and reduces the risk of cybersecurity threats.
The round was led by Glenn McGonnigle and Tom Noonan of TechOperators, and also included EMC Ventures, the corporate venturing unit of computer storage hardware producer EMC, with additional funding provided by previous investor Aligned Partners.
Vorstack will use the funds to scale the development of its security platform to offer customers enhanced automation and control.
“The cyber criminals are coordinating their attacks using the latest technologies,” said Joe Eandi, CEO of Vorstack. “Enterprises are using Vorstack to effectively coordinate defenses by overcoming the automation, regulatory and business process hurdles that prevented effective collaboration in the past.”
Launched in 2011, EMC Ventures’ recent investments include participation in a $38 million round for cloud security startup Zscaler in August 2013.
