Container threat detection startup StackRox raises $25M
Container threat detection startup StackRox Inc. today said it has raised $25 million in new funding.
The Series B round was led by Redpoint Ventures and included Sequoia Capital and Amplify Partners. Founded in 2014, StackRox offers a cloud-based platform that offers continuous advanced threat detection for container technologies included Docker and Kubernetes.
The company’s platform, designed to assist enterprise users with governance, detection and response to security threats, enables security teams to apply and control security policies across containers. Features include the ability to automatically correlate and detect classes of security threat behavior, monitor events over time and to apply an “Adversarial Intent Model” to alert information technology organizations of potential threats across the attack lifecycle.
StackRox said it collaborates with a number of research and governmental organizations to gain a deeper understanding of the attack surface containerized environments present. It counts among its customers SAP SE, City National Bank, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, government agencies and Global 2000 companies.
The funding announcement comes ahead of the RSA Conference in San Francisco April 16, where StackRox will be debuting its new Prevent product. According to the company, Prevent has been designed to enable security teams to apply centralized governance over their organizations’ container deployments, inventorying and stack-ranking the risk of those environments.
Including the new round, StackRock has raised $39 million to date. The company said it would use the funding to accelerate the company’s product development and release schedule and to hire new sales and marketing executives.
