    Seraphic secures $29m to strengthen browser security for businessesSeraphic Security, a leader in enterprise browser security, has announced it has secured a US$29-million series-A funding round led by GreatPoint Ventures (GPV), with participation from the CrowdStrike Falcon Fund and existing investors Planven, Cota Capital, Storm Ventures, Eastlink and Secure Octane. This milestone will allow the organisation to accelerate its product road map and market expansion in North America and Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

    “With the rise of SaaS applications and a hybrid workforce, browsers have become a critical attack surface for today’s adversaries,” said Michael Sentonas, president at CrowdStrike. “Seraphic Security’s unique yet simple approach solves a critical gap in enterprise browser security, which is why we invested in this innovative technology and team.”

    On the heels of significant growth, with a 300% ARR (accounting rate of return) increase year on year, Seraphic Security has emerged as an enterprise browser security leader with increasing adoption by Fortune 500 enterprises. This momentum stems from Seraphic’s breakthrough approach to browser security: creating a patented abstraction layer that effectively monitors, randomises and secures the browser.

    “Browsers dominate the enterprise, yet they are not secure enough,” said Ray Lane, managing partner at GreatPoint Ventures. “Seraphic is emerging as a powerful force in the rapidly growing enterprise browser security market.”

    “As enterprises rush to secure the browser, this series-A investment is a testament to the market’s recognition of Seraphic’s innovative approach to addressing a critical and growing need in the enterprise market – helping organisations mitigate browser vulnerabilities while reducing the cost and complexity of their security architecture,” said Ilan Yeshua, CEO and co-founder at Seraphic Security. “Our focus will be on scaling our operations in North America and Emea, accelerating growth, and continuing to deliver unparalleled value to our customers.”
