Cyral has received a strategic investment from Silicon Valley CISO Investments, an angel syndicate of more than 50 practicing CISOs that invests in a small number of innovative cybersecurity startups each year.

Cyral is only the fifth company to receive an investment from SVCI, which was founded in late 2019, following a rigorous due diligence process that included multiple presentations to SVCI members and insight into the company's growth plans.

In addition to capital, SVCI will provide Cyral with advisory access to dozens of the most prominent CISOs and cybersecurity experts in the country - a benefit Cyral CEO and cofounder Manav Mital sees as invaluable.

Cyral - whose name is derived from Saral, a Hindi word for simple - makes it easy for companies to observe, control and protect their data in the cloud and the DevOps-first world.

Cyral's Security as Code-centric approach to protecting data enables the development and security teams to seamlessly integrate security into all the steps of development, empowering engineers to focus on core features and functionality, and simplifying configuration and authorization management for security teams.
