Incident response firm Surefire Cyber has officially launched with $10m in Series A funding to help a number of key industry stakeholders better manage cyber events.
According to Surefire, the company will help cyber insurers, brokers, law firms and the organisations they support to better manage events such as ransomware, email compromise and other cybercrimes. The funding round was led by venture capital firm Forgepoint Capital.
Surefire added that given two long-term trends – the rising cost of cyber incidents and the growing adoption of cyber insurance – Surefire was created as a purpose-built response firm that leverages a proven team and a tech-enabled platform to boost transparency, accelerate decision making, reduce business interruption and guide firms from recovery to resilience.
Surefire Cyber CEO and founder Billy Gouveia said, “Surefire Cyber’s goal is to work with our clients and partners to swiftly manage a cyber incident and then bring forward capabilities to help them become more cyber resilient. Our delivery of end-to-end digital forensics and incident response capabilities is built on a tech-enabled framework and delivered through a platform that aligns and connects an organization’s executives, technical team, insurance carrier, and legal counsel.
“Our support from Forgepoint Capital enabled us to bring aboard a highly-experienced team of skilled responders, to develop a tech-enabled solution for collaboration with clients and partners during a response, and to leverage the leading cyber venture firm’s unmatched capabilities of over 30 portfolio companies so that our clients can better protect their data and defend their organizations.”
Vade, an international threat detection and response platform that claims to monitor one billion email messages across the world, has scored €28m ($30m) in funding.
