Six months after coming out of stealth, Sweet Security is announcing a $33 million Series A funding round. The round was led by Evolution Equity Partners, joined by Munich Re Ventures and Glilot Capital Partners.
Sweet, which leverages deep runtime analysis to better identify and address cloud risks, will use the funding to scale up its operations in the U.S. and expand its platform. Sweet is also unveiling new enhancements to its unified runtime platform, adding runtime posture enhancement and runtime non-human identity management.
In August 2023, Sweet launched the first unified runtime security platform for the cloud. Its patent-pending eBPF-based technology identifies critical anomalies across application, network, and non-human identities. It provides insights about who, where, and what is happening. Sweet’s “boots on the cloud” approach enables security teams to cut through the noise and address critical cloud risks as they unfold.
Using its sensor-based technology and Layer 7 capabilities, Sweet’s behavioral analysis reveals which machine originated a chain of actions and for what purpose. Sweet’s technology completely upgrades organizations' posture through runtime insights, as well as takes their NHI management to the next level.
“Sweet’s solution shifts cloud security right. Owing to its innovative behavior-based security technology that factors in applications, networks, and identities, the Sweet platform unifies risk reduction across cloud use cases” said Yuval Ben-Itzhak, General Partner, Evolution Equity Partners.
