Cloud Security Operations leader DisruptOps announced it raised $9 million in Series A funding from Drive Capital and existing investor Rally Ventures to scale its go-to-market capabilities and accelerate product development to meet growing market demands.
Many global organizations are rapidly expanding into the cloud. Even though the cloud can lead to business outcomes of increased agility, cost savings, flexibility, and innovation, the reality is that the cloud at scale often breaks security. And these cloud environments consist of multiple teams deploying hundreds of applications across multiple cloud accounts. This complexity leads to unmanaged risk.
And since DevOps and application teams build and operate autonomous infrastructure environments, a new security operations model is needed. What DisruptOps does to address this challenge is offer distributed security operations, which delivers security actions at the right time to the right team, giving them the power to decide and act. And DisruptOps, security can define global governance policies and collaborate with the rest of the organization to reduce risks of cloud computing and automate cloud security operations at scale.
DisruptOps is led by CEO Jody Brazil (previous CEO and co-founder of Firemon) and CTO Brandy Peterson. And co-founders Rich Mogull and Mike Rothman (principals of security research firm Securosis) each bring over 25 years of security experience and almost 10 years of hands-on cloud knowledge to ensure DisruptOps remains at the forefront of the cloud and DevSecOps revolutions.
