DisruptOps, a company that helps establish strong security measures for the enterprise data on the cloud has raised $9 million in Series A round of financing

Fremont, CA: DisruptOps, a major player in Cloud Security Operations has raised $9 million in Series A round of financing from Drive Capital and existing investor Rally Ventures to scale go-to-market capabilities and accelerate product development to meet the increasing market demands.

Global organizations are quickly expanding into the cloud as it provides promising business outcomes from increased agility, cost savings, flexibility, and innovation. However cloud computing has another unavoidable side, security obstruction.

These cloud environments consist of multiple teams deploying innumerable applications across multiple cloud accounts. This complex structure has become an unmanaged risk and has led Gartner to predict that more than 99 percent of all cloud structures are subjected to security failures, and majority of which will be the customers’ fault.

As DevOps and application teams build and function in autonomous infrastructure environments, the grave necessity for a new security operations model does exist. DisruptOps has addressed this challenge with distributed security operations. This model delivers security actions at the exact time to the respective team, allowing them to decide and carry out the activity. With DisruptOps, security can comply with global governance policies and collaborate with the rest of the departments in the organization to minimize the risk of cloud computing and automate cloud security operations at scale. The platform quickly deploys and, within minutes, enforces best practices in cloud security.

"As today's cloud-enabled businesses continue to increase adoption of cloud computing, security struggles to keep pace with the volume of security events and the coordination of the many teams involved in the response," said Jody Brazil, CEO of DisruptOps. "Our cloud-native platform is designed to ensure that organizations can take action quickly and effectively when identifying misconfigurations and threats. We're excited to partner with Drive Capital and our existing investors to secure every company in the cloud."

"DisruptOps sits at the center of three technology mega-trends: Cloud, Security, and Automation. Enterprises are now experiencing the challenges of scaling their cloud security operations," said Andy Jenks, Partner at Drive Capital. "The ability for organizations to remediate cloud issues and quickly respond to attacks will completely change how these companies secure their cloud."
