vArmour, an API-driven cloud security startup, has pulled in $44m in its Series E round of funding.
The investment was led by AllegisCyber and NightDragon, with participation also coming from unnamed existing backers.
Founded in 2011, vArmour is a cloud security platform which helps companies to implement security measures across hybrid clouds, lower the attack surface and maintain continuous compliance. The automated platform is built in a way which can identify, securing, and controlling workloads where data and processes are dispersed and traditional firewalls are not effective, the company claims.
Through the holistic solution includes auto-discovering hybrid cloud applications, computing infrastructure-independent communication policies, and measuring effective enforcement to reduce attack surface and maintain continuous compliance.
vArmour CEO Tim Eades said, “Security and IT pros are having a difficult time maintaining consistent security policy across their private and public cloud environments, so we’ve designed Conform to help these teams manage the numerous compliance requirements they have to deal with.
“By taming the cloud, vArmour brings peace of mind all the way to the board room, enabling further cloud adoption and aiding with regulatory compliance.”
Last year, NightDragon and AllegisCyber both invested into the $11m Series B round of Social SafeGuard, a software developer for digital risk protection. The company offers cloud-based solutions which manage the full life-cycle of digital risk protection in order to enable businesses to detect, analyse and prevent attacks, all in real-time.
