Skybox Security, a San Jose, CA-based security policy and vulnerability management, announced that it closed a $50 million financing round, and hired a new chief executive.
The investment was from J.P. Morgan and CVC Growth Funds and Pantheon, bringing its total raised to $335 million.
The company also announced that it has appointed cybersecurity veteran Mordecai Rosen as CEO.
“I was drawn to Skybox by its disruptive technology platform, blue chip customer base, and seasoned cybersecurity team,” Rosen said in a statement. “With our first-to-market SaaS offering, Skybox Cloud, we are well positioned to disrupt both the security policy and vulnerability management markets with a single integrated SaaS platform.”
With a new chief executive on board, the company's plan is to find revenues in the Skybox Cloud Edition, a software-as-a-service product for managing security policy in hybrid multi-vendor environments.
