India-based Firecompass has raised a $7M funding round to help companies identify cybersecurity threats by having its platform constantly look for flaws and then attack them.
T-Mobile and Sprint have used the platform.
- Firecompass offers a platform that constantly scans its clients' digital infrastructure for possible security flaws. Once the platform tracks them, then it uses the red team methodology in order to help them identify and fix the flaws.
- The platform tracks issues such as:
- exposed databases,
- cloud buckets,
- code leaks,
- exposed credentials,
- exposed APIs, etc.
- Silicon Valley-based investor Cervin led the funding round, while Athera Venture Partners also participated.
- The funding will be used to expand across the U.S. and India.
- Firecompass was founded in 2019 and is based in Bengaluru, India.
- The company also has a presence in Boston.
