DataSecOps startup Satori Cyber Ltd. announced today it has raised $20 million in new funding for research and development and go-to-market expansion in the U.S.

B Capital Group and Evolution Equity Partners co-led the Series A round. YL Ventures also participated.

Founded in 2019, Satori pitches itself as the first DataSecOps platform to democratize data and scale up cloud data analytics, embedding security into data operations by providing security capabilities at the infrastructure level and removing friction for data consumers.

The company’s Universal Data Access Service provides holistic visibility and a single control plane for real-time data access and usage oversight across modern data stacks. The data access platform for cloud-based data does not require any changes to organizations’ data infrastructure or user setup, empowering data teams to apply comprehensive controls across data stores in days instead of months, the company added.

Under the hood, Satori monitors every database query and result, classifies the data in motion, keeps a universal audit of data access and builds an always up-to-date data inventory. In doing so, the service can prevent unauthorized access, mask sensitive data and monitor and control access to personally identifiable information. Customers can configure granular policies based on users, groups, data types, schema and more while managing policies-as-code via application programming interfaces or Satori’s user interface.

Integrations include stores such as Amazon Redshift, Amazon Athena, Amazon Aurora and Azure SQL. Satori also recently announced a partnership with Snowflake Inc. to enable DataSecOps for Snowflake’s data cloud.

Satori has a growing customer base as the need for dedicated DataSecOps becomes more widely recognized. Notable clients include Intuit Inc., Freshly Inc., Via Transportation Inc., Innovaccer Inc., ActiveCampaign and Helix OpCo LLC.

“We started Satori as we knew cloud data infrastructures would require a radical shift in security toward it being granular, universal and also non-intrusive,” Eldad Chai, co-founder and chief executive officer of Satori, said in a statement. “Launching with multiple out-of-the-box integrations with the industry’s leading cloud data stores, we empower data teams to roll out self-service access, row- and column-level security and dynamic de-identification across data stores in minutes.”

Including the new funding, Satori has raised $25.3 million to date, according to data from Crunchbase.
