24 Abril 2024 - 11:00AM
ThreatLocker®, a global cybersecurity leader that offers a Zero
Trust endpoint security solution, today announced it has raised
$115M in Series D funding led by existing investor General
Atlantic, a leading global growth equity firm, with participation
from other major investors StepStone Group and the D. E. Shaw
group. With the new investment, ThreatLocker® will continue to
focus on driving product innovation to bring the power of Zero
Trust security to more organizations and accelerating the company’s
global expansion.
ThreatLocker® provides organizations with the ability to protect
their IT operations with an effective Zero Trust approach to
cybersecurity. The product suite provides enterprise-level server
and endpoint security by blocking untrusted software, including
ransomware, scripts and libraries, and exploits of known and
unknown application vulnerabilities through Default Deny
Application Control, Ringfencing™, Storage Control, Privileged
Access Management, Network Access Control, as well as its new
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) and Managed Detection &
Response (MDR) solutions. ThreatLocker® believes that its customers
should have complete control over their network and devices, know
what is trying to infiltrate their stack, and not live in fear of
the next cyberattack. With a powerful security tool suite designed
to enable organizations to easily and directly control exactly what
applications run on their endpoints, ThreatLocker® customers can
rest assured knowing that their businesses are protected using the
Zero Trust model framework that protects them from various cyber
threats, including unknown malware, ransomware, and exploits for
known and unknown vulnerabilities.
ThreatLocker® CEO Danny Jenkins commented, “ThreatLocker
has made a huge impact in the industry in driving a least-privilege
approach forward over the last few years and has introduced new EDR
and MDR products within a single cybersecurity platform for our
customers. We believe this new injection of capital will enable us
to continue to develop Zero Trust products and grow ThreatLocker's
market presence. We are very excited to be partnering again with
General Atlantic, as well as with new investors, StepStone Group
& the D. E. Shaw group, and look forward to leveraging their
teams' deep experience in bringing products to market and scaling
technologically-disruptive businesses.”
To add to this, ThreatLocker® COO Sami Jenkins commented, “We
are thrilled to extend our partnerships with General Atlantic and
look forward to working with StepStone and the D. E. Shaw
group.”
The new investment follows another year of growth as
ThreatLocker® doubled its revenue and added 50% to its workforce.
Today, ThreatLocker® has thousands of partners and protects over
50,000 organizations. Serving companies who are serious about
security, ThreatLocker® partners with Enterprises and Managed
Service Providers (and MSSPs), including many financial
institutions, healthcare organizations, and airlines such as
Emirates and JetBlue Airways.
Gary Reiner, Operating Partner at General Atlantic,
continued, “ThreatLocker effectively takes the guesswork out
of threat detection with its Zero Trust approach. As companies of
all sizes increasingly focus on filling in gaps in their security
stacks, Zero Trust is becoming a necessity – and we view
ThreatLocker as an emerging leader in this paradigm shift. We are
thrilled to further our partnership with the team to accelerate
ThreatLocker’s growth as an endpoint security disruptor.”
