ExtraHop – a leader in cloud-native network detection and response (NDR) – recently announced that it has secured $100 million in growth capital from existing investors in a deal expected to close in early 2024, subject to customary closing conditions. This news comes on the heels of ExtraHop’s strong year of performance as it ends 2023 with about $200 million in ARR – doubling over the last few years.
The Reveal(x) platform is unique in its ability to deliver the 360-degree visibility needed for organizations to automatically discover new, rogue, and unmanaged devices, detect late-stage attack activity using machine learning-based technology, and quickly remediate threats. And ExtraHop recently open-sourced its 16 million row dataset to help defend against domains generated by algorithm (DGAs) and enable organizations to strengthen defenses against malware and botnet operations. Plus, ExtraHop also fortified its partnership with CrowdStrike by offering CrowdStrike Falcon Intelligence embedded within the Reveal(x) platform.
ExtraHop also welcomed Marc Andrews as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) and Kanaiya Vasani as Chief Product Officer (CPO) to support its next growth stage in the NDR market.
Andrews is a proven sales leader with an impressive background rooted in cybersecurity excellence. And Andrews previously led global sales at cybersecurity leaders Symantec and Blue Coat Systems and brings to ExtraHop an exceptional track record of building successful go-to-market, alignment, and implementation strategies. As a Crosspoint Capital Operating Partner, Andrews worked with the firm’s other portfolio companies to drive sustainable and profitable growth.
With over 30 years of experience in networking and security, Vasani joins ExtraHop as CPO. More recently, Vasani worked at Infoblox, where he led the company’s product team and significantly scaled Infoblox’s security business. Plus, he brings significant experience in defining and shaping corporate strategy and then executing through product development to drive customer success. Vasani previously worked in leadership positions at Juniper Networks and Terayon Communications.
KEY QUOTES:
“ExtraHop is poised to be one of the next revolutionary businesses in this new era of cybersecurity, and this new infusion of capital will help the company build on its recent success and scale to new heights. ExtraHop is committed to building upon its heritage of developing groundbreaking technology to help customers better manage and mitigate their cyber risk.

“NDR has been increasingly drawing attention from analysts, investors, and enterprises alike, proving to be a fundamental component of a successful cybersecurity stack. As more organizations adopt zero trust and XDR strategies to build business resilience, it’s become evident that these critical cybersecurity measures are impossible to execute without NDR. 360-degree network visibility offers unmatched opportunities to reveal the cyber risks hiding in IT environments and keep operations running. The Reveal(x) platform from ExtraHop helps customers do just that, and the success ExtraHop has experienced to date further solidifies this notion.”
