d-funding), a global cybersecurity leader that offers a Zero Trust endpoint
security solution, today announced it has raised $115M in Series D funding led
by existing investor General Atlantic, a leading global growth equity firm, with
participation from other major investors StepStone Group and the D. E. Shaw
group. With the new investment, ThreatLocker® will continue to focus on driving
product innovation to bring the power of Zero Trust security to more
organizations and accelerating the company's global expansion.
ThreatLocker® provides organizations with the ability to protect their IT
operations with an effective Zero Trust approach to cybersecurity. The product
suite provides enterprise-level server and endpoint security by blocking
untrusted software, including ransomware, scripts and libraries, and exploits of
known and unknown application vulnerabilities through Default Deny Application
Control, Ringfencing(TM), Storage Control, Privileged Access Management, Network
Access Control, as well as its new Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) and
Managed Detection & Response (MDR) solutions. ThreatLocker® believes that its
customers should have complete control over their network and devices, know what
is trying to infiltrate their stack, and not live in fear of the next
cyberattack. With a powerful security tool suite designed to enable
organizations to easily and directly control exactly what applications run on
their endpoints, ThreatLocker® customers can rest assured knowing that their
businesses are protected using the Zero Trust model framework that protects them
from various cyber threats, including unknown malware, ransomware, and exploits
for known and unknown vulnerabilities.
ThreatLocker® CEO Danny Jenkins commented, "ThreatLocker has made a huge impact
in the industry in driving a least-privilege approach forward over the last few
years and has introduced new EDR and MDR products within a single cybersecurity
platform for our customers. We believe this new injection of capital will enable
us to continue to develop Zero Trust products and grow ThreatLocker's market
presence. We are very excited to be partnering again with General Atlantic, as
well as with new investors, StepStone Group & the D. E. Shaw group, and look
forward to leveraging their teams' deep experience in bringing products to
market and scaling technologically-disruptive businesses."
To add to this, ThreatLocker® COO Sami Jenkins commented, "We are thrilled to
extend our partnerships with General Atlantic and look forward to working with
StepStone and the D. E. Shaw group."
The new investment follows another year of growth as ThreatLocker® doubled its
revenue and added 50% to its workforce. Today, ThreatLocker® has thousands of
partners and protects over 50,000 organizations. Serving companies who are
serious about security, ThreatLocker® partners with Enterprises and Managed
Service Providers (and MSSPs), including many financial institutions, healthcare
organizations, and airlines such as Emirates and JetBlue Airways.
Gary Reiner, Operating Partner at General Atlantic, continued, "ThreatLocker
effectively takes the guesswork out of threat detection with its Zero Trust
approach. As companies of all sizes increasingly focus on filling in gaps in
their security stacks, Zero Trust is becoming a necessity - and we view
ThreatLocker as an emerging leader in this paradigm shift. We are thrilled to
further our partnership with the team to accelerate ThreatLocker's growth as an
endpoint security disruptor."
