BOISE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 14, 2021--
PlexTrac, a solution for cybersecurity professionals to identify and accomplish the right security work, today announced $10 million in Series A funding. Venture firms Noro-Moseley Partners and Madrona Venture Group led the round with participation from StageDotO Ventures. The company will use the funds to continue to build the team and grow the platform.
PlexTrac founder and CEO Dan DeCloss developed the platform to solve the pain points he experienced over his 15+ year career in the cybersecurity industry, including roles with the Department of Defense and in penetration testing. PlexTrac saw incredible customer and revenue growth in 2020. PlexTrac enables offensive and defensive security teams to collaborate in real time on cyber-attack simulations, known as purple teaming.
“Security professionals in all types of organizations are faced with unprecedented threats, but how they work has not substantially changed. PlexTrac brings red and blue cybersecurity teams together in one workflow to build transparency and efficiency at remediating vulnerabilities and defending against increasingly sophisticated adversaries,” said DeCloss. “The growing traction we are seeing with Fortune 500 companies speaks to how PlexTrac resonates with security professionals as they focus on a proactive assessment mindset. We are excited to work with our new partners at Noro-Moseley and Madrona on our growth trajectory.”
The mission of the company is to keep every cybersecurity team focused on growing their assessment capabilities, automating their reporting process, and collaborating more effectively.
PlexTrac addresses bottlenecks in getting security work done through:
- Report automation for penetration testing and compliance
- Orchestration across multiple security tools and assessment teams
- Centralized collaboration throughout the testing, tracking, and remediation lifecycle
- Real-time analytics and risk visualizations
“Never before have security professionals seen the level of pressure they are now facing to protect their assets — and communicate with teams across the organization and outside of it. Dan brings personal experience and a clear vision to this challenge. We believe that PlexTrac is the solution that every security organization needs to succeed against current and future threats and are excited to support the team,” said John Ale, Partner at Noro Moseley.
“PlexTrac’s holistic approach to security and penetration testing reflects a fresh approach to this growing discipline in enterprise IT. By uniting red and blue teams on one platform, and developing deep integrations with existing infrastructure and tools, PlexTrac is bringing a software enabled workflow to IT pros and security engineers who are looking for ways to work smarter and faster. We have been impressed with the traction Dan and his team have driven over the last 12 months and we look forward to working with the team in the coming years,” commented S. Somasegar, Managing Director, Madrona Venture Group.
Based in Boise, ID, the team is hiring for local and remote positions. Media Kit is here.
