Anomali Inc., a startup that supplies enterprises with information about hacker activity and cybersecurity developments, today announced that it has closed a $40 million funding round.

The investment was led by expansion-stage fund Lumia Capital. Previously, Anomali raised $30 million from a group that included Alphabet Inc.’s GV private equity arm and General Catalyst Partners.

Anomali offers several products designed to help organizations stay informed about online risks. The foundation of the lineup is ThreatStream, a platform for gathering security intelligence from different corners of the web. The startup said the software can tap into both free data sources such as public malware databases and commercial feeds, which are available via a built-in marketplace.

ThreatStream also provides tools for processing the incoming information. According to Anomali, analysts can use the software to normalize data from different sources into a common format, remove duplicate entries and add context. The platform then makes it possible to feed the records into a company’s network prevention systems to provide better breach detection.

Even with the right data, however, it can be difficult to spot a security incident. The large volume of system and traffic logs generated in a large enterprise makes it easy to overlook potential warning signs.

To address the challenge, Anomali offers a forensics toolkit called Anomali Enterprise alongside ThreatStream. The startup said the product can automatically compare infrastructure logs against malware data from external feeds to look for breach indicators. The operational information is archived for extended periods of time, which allows companies to look back when needed to see if they’ve missed anything.

Anomali will use the new capital to expand upon its products’ capabilities. Colby DeRodeff, the startup’s chief strategy officer, declared that “2018 marks the year when we will significantly expand our product offerings, client portfolio and overall category leadership.”

Anomali has raised a total of $96 million from investors.
