Ofer Israeli, CEO and founder, Illusive Networks, said: “Our rapid growth is a testament to the need for our solution, especially with the rise of cyber-attacks and the complexity of securing remote workers which makes our products more critical at this time. We are also thrilled about the tremendous momentum we are seeing with our strategic partnerships like Microsoft; last week Illusive was announced as the only deception vendor with a Microsoft “co-sell” ready status.”
This funding round will be used to accelerate the company’s next phase of growth driven by an aggressive go-to-market strategy that focuses on sales and marketing expansion and further investment and product enhancements for securing cloud workloads.
Jeff Williams, founding partner, Spring Lake Equity Partners, said: “Cyber-attackers are savvier than ever in evading security monitoring and controls. The next level of cybersecurity needs to be deterministic, not reactionary. Illusive will also further invest in cloud security and make product enhancements that are critical as enterprises are increasing their deployment of workloads in the cloud. That’s why Illusive will continue to grow and why it’s a company worth investing in.”
