The company uses big data analytics to identify and handle cyber attacks. Specifically, CEO says the company鈥檚 mission is to help 鈥渟ecurity teams prevent more attacks, sooner, in ways that enable understanding and taking decisive action faster鈥� with the help of AI.

Over the past two years, Cybereason said it has increased its customer base by 300 percent 鈥渨ith over six million endpoints under protection.鈥� (In cybersecurity, endpoint protection refers to securing devices at the end of a network; laptops, tablets, mobile phones, and so forth. In a world of both big data and strengthening mobile networks, endpoint security is a natural growth industry thanks to the secular shifts towards greater data collection and retention, and an increasingly mobile workforce.)

Cybereason is based in Boston but has 500 employees working out of its home base and offices in Tel Aviv, Tokyo, London and Sydney, Australia. Israeli military veterans founded the company in 2012.

In its press release, Cybereason said it plans to use the new capital toward ramping up operations with an eye toward 鈥済lobal growth in all geographies.鈥� It also wants to aggressively expand its partner program and improve upon its endpoint security product.

The company is tipped to be headed for the public markets. According to an , Cybereason is looking at a public debut when 鈥渕arket conditions鈥� line up. Of course, that鈥檚 what every company looking at going public that isn鈥檛 quite ready yet says, so it鈥檚 hard to draw too much insight from the statement.

Notable, however, is the scale of capital that Cybereason just raised. Indeed, the company鈥檚 prior total capital raised to date was about $189 million (Softbank led and , for reference.) That means Cybereason just raised more in than it had raised before, added together. Previous investors include , and .

Here鈥檚 a look at to date:

The new capital will likely delay its IPO; perhaps Cybereason could have gone public inside the next few quarters if it needed to. But with $200 million fresh dollars sitting in its accounts, why would it? And that means a company SoftBank has poured capital into a number of times could miss the current IPO window, a winsome season that has seen companies of all levels of quality go public.

As a final bit of context, recall that cybersecurity is a hot sector. 小蓝视频色情网页版 News reported a grip of funding rounds in the space and a recent IPO to draw attention to cybersecurity鈥檚 rise. Cybereason is part of the same wave. Expect more, related rounds in the coming months.
