Cloud Security Startup Wiz Raises $120M In Salesforce-Led Round: Report
The nine-figure haul from Salesforce would bring Wiz’s total funding to more than $350 million just 16 months after the Tel Aviv, Israel-based cloud security startup was launched, according to Bloomberg. By Michael Novinson May 25, 2021, 11:33 AM EDT
Cloud security startup Wiz has raised more than $120 million in a funding round led by customer relationship management (CRM) giant Salesforce, according to Bloomberg.
The funding would be the Tel Aviv, Israel-based Wiz’s third financing round in the past six months, coming just two months after the firm notched a $1.7 billion valuation following a $130 million Series B round led by private equity investor Advent International. Neither Wiz nor Salesforce immediately responded to CRN requests for comment on the Bloomberg report.
Orca finds cloud security gaps in the deepest waters
SHARE
Whether IT runs on-premises or in the cloud, there are always gaps in security. The key is to find them before the hackers do.
Orca Security Ltd. has seized an opportunity to capitalize on a security-challenged IT environment by developing what it terms SideScanning security solutions, born in the cloud for the cloud. Orca’s approach is based on two basic tenets: Security will always fail, and using the same on-prem techniques in the cloud will ensure disaster.
“You need to assume that everything will fail all of the time, including all of the controls that you baked in,” said Avi Shua (pictured), co-founder and chief executive officer of Orca. “Audit what’s actually happening in your environment to find the gaps. You cannot use the same methodologies that you used for on-prem because if you use them, you are going to lose.”
