  • Leading digital risk management platform CybelAngel completes a Series B investment round, bringing total funding to date to $52 million.

PARIS and NEW YORK, February 12, 2020 – CybelAngel, the global leader in digital risk management, today announced that it has closed its $36 million in Series B funding from a coalition of successful US based entrepreneurs and a consortium of European Venture Capital Firms. CybelAngel’s new investors include:

  • Datadog Co-Founder and CEO Olivier Pomel, along with Co-Founder and CTO Alexis Le-Quoc,
  • Tenable Co-Founder and CTO Renaud Deraison,
  • Black Duck Software former CEO Lou Shipley,
  • Neolane (acquired by Adobe) Co-Founder and former President Stephan Dietrich.

Prime Ventures led the round alongside TempoCap and Open CNP, with participation from Bpifrance. The company will use the investment to accelerate global expansion, strategic partnerships and product advancement of their unique AI-powered technology platform. Including the new Series B, CybelAngel has received a total of $52 million in funding to date. In conjunction with the round, CybelAngel also announced that Pieter Welten, Partner at Prime Ventures, has joined the company’s Board of Directors. “CybelAngel’s technology is a must-have in every CIO’s cybersecurity posture. Their solution has already been successful at saving customers billions of dollars’ worth of potential damage from data leaks. We see an expansive global opportunity in CybelAngel, and we are excited to help them grow,” said Welten. Enterprise data is now shared on more third-party platforms than ever before. In the data centers, on the cloud, on connected or IoT devices, and among external contractors and vendors, the threat of critical data leaks beyond a company’s firewall grows every day. The World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2019 ranks data theft and cyberattacks among its top five global risks, with an estimated price tag of $90 trillion if cybersecurity efforts do not keep pace with technological change. The detection of unprotected, at-risk data is now an essential part of standard cyber- resilience due diligence frameworks. Damien Henault, partner at TempoCap says: “CybelAngel’s platform, based on a unique combination of AI and human expertise, represents a real paradigm shift in the industry and we’re proud to invest in a cybersecurity firm that is truly disruptive and innovating at scale. We look forward to supporting their success over the coming years”. Jonathan Denais, Managing Director at Open CNP, the corporate venture fund of CNP Assurances says: “CybelAngel’s service has helped CNP Assurances to quickly identify potential data leaks and prevent third parties from accessing this data. It is an important part of our security strategy”. CybelAngel detects over one (1) billion documents per day, and uses artificial intelligence to assess the sensitivity of the information it finds. The company’s platform helps enterprises manage digital risk in real time by providing relevant, actionable information, enabling effective remediation and takedown.

Erwan Keraudy, CEO of CybelAngel, said, “The acceleration of digital transformation and the proliferation of connected devices has created an explosion of both malicious and negligent risks. This funding enables CybelAngel to expand globally to more countries and continue to innovate to protect enterprises’ most critical digital assets from costly data leaks.
