Cybereason, a Boston, MA-based cybersecurity software company that provides endpoint protection for enterprises, announced that it raised $100 million in funding.
The round was led by SoftBank Corp. to support the company’s global growth and advance its innovation in XDR, EDR, and EPP solutions.
In addition, Cybereason announced that Eric Gan will serve as the company’s new CEO, subject to confirmation by the company’s board and pending customary regulatory approvals, while current CEO and Co-Founder Lior Div will transition to the role of advisor.
“I have watched Cybereason grow from its earliest stages to a leader in the cyber industry as evidenced by its recent position as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for EPP and its record-breaking MITRE ATT&CK results. I look forward to supporting Cybereason’s next stage of global growth and scale,” said Gan.
Cybereason provides an automated EDR platform that identifies elements of cyber attacks for effective response in real time. The company’s platform detects signature-based and non-signature-based attacks and accelerates incident investigation and response, connecting individual pieces of evidence to form a complete picture of a malicious operation.
