San Francisco, CA-based attack surface management firm RiskIQ has raised $15 million in a Series D funding round led by National Grid Partners.
RiskIQ monitors the attack surface from outside of the firewall, with services including vulnerability management, application security and penetration testing.
From her investment standpoint, she added, "At NGP, we seek to partner with and invest in high growth companies that are strategic to National Grid. RiskIQ is a category leader in Attack Surface Management, with impressive technology and growth."
In helping to make RiskIQ even more useful within its own utility company, RiskIQ will emerge with a deeper understanding of the needs of critical infrastructure organizations - which are now likely to emerge as an important new target for the firm.
This funding, confirms the firm, will enable RiskIQ to bring its attack surface management, threat detection, and unique threat hunting capabilities to critical infrastructure industries, which face a host of unique security challenges entering the new decade.
