Oxx led the Series B round with participation from institutional and returning investors to fund product development and global expansion.
"Once again, we were blown away by the interest we received from investors, but as we carve our niche in the market, we remain steadfast in being selective of shareholders whose values and ambition align closely with our own. In spite of the economic downturn, we are encouraged that some of Europe’s most reputable investors believe in, and are keen to financially support, CyberSmart’s mission to protect and empower the underserved SME market against cybercrime. More importantly, we are delighted that they trust us to deliver on that vision, and I look forward to seeing how much we can accomplish in the year ahead."
The Series A round was led by Eight Roads Ventures with backing from MMC Ventures, Crane Venture Partners and Winton Ventures.
"We are facing a new reality whereby attackers are advancing more quickly than legacy approaches can keep up with, but hybrid and multi-cloud environments are far more complex than we yet know how to defend. Added to this, the volume and speed of data is beyond what legacy architecture was ever designed to handle. The daily headlines show legacy approaches don’t work and if we don’t do something courageous now as a security community or we aren’t going to stand a chance in the future. We chose to partner with Eight Roads Ventures because of their ability to support SenseOn’s vision, thanks to their collaborative partnership style, their strong knowledge of the cyber industry and their global footprint."
The round was backed by IQ Capital, Eos Venture Partners, and Winton Ventures to enhance product capabilities and expand internationally.
"The amount of support we have received thus far is humbling, and just goes to show the gap there is in the market for our offering. Cybersecurity solutions are often tailored to large enterprises with extensive teams and resources, whilst SMEs are left behind. With the help of our investors, we are challenging this mentality,"
The data indexing platform raised further capital led by Beringea to develop its product and support scaling.
"Today every company on earth is a data company and the ability to see all data, in absolute detail, in one place, regardless of source and type, has been the one constant that has held us all back from maximising the true value of our data strategies, until now! I am delighted to be part of the Exonar Team, as we enable our customers to truly know and leverage their data, in ways previously not possible, on behalf of the people they serve."
