Yahoo – Finance – Business Wire
Bridgecrew, a company that makes it simple for organizations to automatically deploy cloud security engineering, today emerged from stealth mode by launching its Codified Cloud Security platform and announcing new funding. Its new, $14 million Series A round was led by global investment firm Battery Ventures with participation from NFX, who led Bridgecrewâs $4 million seed round. Series A investors also include Sorensen Ventures, DNX Ventures, Tectonic Ventures, and Homeward Ventures. In addition, a number of strategic investors and cloud-security luminaries joined the Series A round. They include Lookout Founder Kevin Mahaffey; Spotifyâs head of security, David Hannigan; Marqeta CISO David Tsao; Netflixâs head of cloud security, Srinath Kuruvadi; and AWS Security senior manager Ely Kahn. The new funds will be used to aggressively scale Bridgecrewâs novel solution, which enables DevSecOps engineers to quickly and seamlessly secure cloud infrastructure and conduct remediation delivered as code. This comes only one year after the company was founded by cybersecurity experts Idan Tendler, Barak Schoster Goihman, and Guy Eisenkot. Bridgecrewâs developer-first solution allows DevOps and engineering teams to save critical time and money as they address these ongoing security tasks with just the click of a button. The automated technology is also well-suited for the age of COVID-19 and todayâs volatile market environment in which many organizations are trying to automate security and DevOps processes to cut costs and become significantly more efficient.
