Container and Kubernetes security company StackRox on Thursday announced that it raised another $26.5 million in funding, which brings the total investment secured by the firm to $61 million.
StackRox has developed a Kubernetes-native container security platform designed to help both security and DevOps teams enforce security and compliance policies.
"Companies are adopting containers and Kubernetes at a record pace to enable the rapid application development that's needed for business innovation. The pandemic has heightened the urgency for innovation, and remote work has added far greater security demands," said Kamal Shah, CEO of StackRox.
"Our Kubernetes-native solution enables a true Security-as-Code approach to DevSecOps and protecting cloud-native applications, delivering security that is built in, not bolted on. As a result, we're seeing substantial growth in demand for our Kubernetes-native security platform compared to legacy container security solutions," Shah added.
He worked as a high school IT teacher for two years before starting a career in journalism as Softpedia's security news reporter.
