Cloud security startup Wiz on Wednesday emerged from stealth mode with $100 million in Series A funding.
The money came from Index Ventures, Sequoia, Insight Partners and Cyberstarts, and Wiz says it plans on using it to scale and meet customer demand for its cloud security solutions.
Following the acquisition, they led Microsoft's Cloud Security Group.
The startup offers a cloud visibility solution for enterprises that provides a complete view of security risks across clouds, workloads and containers, without the need for agents.
"When our founding team was leading the Microsoft Cloud Security Group, we saw firsthand how security teams struggled with the complexity of existing approaches to securing the cloud," said Assaf Rappaport, CEO and co-founder of Wiz.
