RiskSense Raises $12MM in Series B Funding Round

August 8, 2018 By admin

RiskSense®, Inc., the pioneer in intelligent threat and vulnerability prioritization, today announced it has closed a $12 million Series B round of financing co-led by Spring Mountain Capital and NightDragon Security, with participation from UL Ventures, Paladin Capital Group, Sun Mountain Capital, EPIC Ventures and Jump Capital. The funds will be used to accelerate growth through sales, marketing and research & development investments.

The RiskSense team has collaborated with the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Intelligence Community on applying artificial intelligence to cybersecurity problems as part of the CACTUS (Computational Analysis of Cyber Terrorism against the U.S.) project. Today the RiskSense threat and vulnerability prioritization platform is used by Global Fortune 500 customers, government agencies as well as one of the largest telecommunications providers in the world to deliver managed security services to businesses.

“Spring Mountain Capital invests in companies that are developing breakthrough technology innovations in high growth markets. RiskSense stands out in the cyber risk management sector because of its ability to identify and prioritize security blind spots, so companies can fix what matters most,” said Raymond Wong, Managing Director and Head of Growth Equity at Spring Mountain Capital. “We love the fact that RiskSense makes the security tools that companies already have more effective.”

Organizations are struggling with what to fix first out of the tens of thousands of vulnerabilities that could adversely affect their IT infrastructure. RiskSense provides clear remediation guidance to ensure that what is fixed actually reduces an organization’s overall risk. The RiskSense Security Score (RS3) provides CISOs and boards clear visibility into their temporal risk with a simple, credit-like score, as well as a framework to track and improve security over time.

According to a recent Gartner report: “‘I have 1,000 critical vulnerabilities, but I can only fix 100 this month. Which 100 do I prioritize?’ is a common question that IT security managers ask Gartner. In the past, this process has been tedious and time-consuming, as well as manual and error-prone. Going beyond the capabilities of a VA (vulnerability assessment) tool, threat and vulnerability management solutions are designed to support an organization’s vulnerability life cycle management, provide formalized workflow and report collaboration capabilities.”*

“I’ve evaluated hundreds of security companies and what I admire most about RiskSense is their focus on addressing the one problem every organization faces – reducing risk by prioritizing the vulnerabilities that need immediate attention,” said Dave DeWalt, Founder of NightDragon and now a Strategic Advisor to the RiskSense Board of Directors. “Reducing IT risk is now a board-level topic, and RiskSense provides CEOs and their boards a solution and framework for reducing risk and continuously evaluating their risk assessment in business terms.”

“This new investment will allow us to take advantage of the enormous market opportunity for helping customers prioritize their risks. The funding will provide the resources we need to accelerate our business momentum and strengthen our technology advantage,” said Srinivas Mukkamala, Ph.D., CEO of RiskSense. “We are pleased to welcome Spring Mountain Capital to our board. Both Raymond Wong and Dave DeWalt will be invaluable advisors to our management team.”

Recently, the company has been named a finalist in the prestigious SC Awards in both the US and Europe, chosen as a Top Security Manufacturer in the United States in the Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs), and received a GSN Homeland Security Award and the Cybersecurity Excellence Award from GDS Review. The company continues to receive industry recognition for its innovations in intelligence-driven threat and vulnerability management, risk prioritization and analytics.
