DTEX Systems – a global leader in insider risk management – announced that it closed $50 million in Series E funding. CapitalG, the independent growth fund of Google’s parent company, Alphabet – led the new investment round, bringing DTEX Systems’ total funding raised to $138 million. The funding round will be used to expand the company’s engineering team and grow its go-to-market (GTM) operations globally, accelerating its mission to protect global organizations from insider threats proactively.
The new funding round will continue to fuel significant company momentum and accelerate DTEX’s application of large language models (LLMs) and behavioral science research to disrupt the insider risk management market. In the last year, DTEX doubled its ARR growth rate and closed its highest-ever number of $1+ million deals. This includes the largest deal in company history with a leading Financial Services company that deployed the DTEX InTERCEPTTM platform enterprise-wide, covering over 800,000 user devices and mission-critical servers.
The customer wins spanned multiple industries, including energy, mining, healthcare, banking and finance, technology, media, pharma, telecommunications, federal agencies, and other critical infrastructure entities. The company expanded its footprint in the public sector market, securing a multimillion-dollar deal with a major U.S. government agency that spans over 100,000 endpoints. To support this rapid growth, DTEX also expanded its C-suite by appointing Marshall Heilman as CEO, Rajan Koo as CTO, and Dave Salverson as CFO.
Since being founded, DTEX has remained hyper-focused on leveraging behavioral science to help organizations better understand the human element impacting their security risk posture. And this unwavering commitment has empowered hundreds of global enterprises to develop more effective and proactive insider risk management programs without infringing on employee privacy.
This funding round closely follows the launch of DTEX Ai3 Risk Assistant, the newest enhancement to the DTEX InTERCEPT platform. And Ai3 leverages generative AI, to simplify complex insider risk tasks typically reserved for the most highly trained investigators. Offering data analysis enables more eyes and know-how to be part of safeguarding an organization’s digital assets. These new funds will enable the engineering team to explore adjacent disciplines to continue enhancing the platform and increase return on investment (ROI) for all customers.
KEY QUOTES:
“Our investment in DTEX comes at a time when enterprises worldwide are increasingly reprioritizing their security investments in order to address the costs and impact of insider risks. At the same time, the market is underserved by legacy technologies that don’t provide visibility into the behavioral nuances that are essential to understanding and proactively mitigating both malicious and unintentional insider risks. DTEX takes a differentiated approach to mitigating insider risks and has a proven record of success as the most innovative and effective solution on the market. We look forward to partnering with the DTEX team to support the company in its next phase of growth.”
