The cybersecurity firm iSight Partners has raised $30m (£19.7m) in a Series C equity-financing round, working with Bessemer Venture Partners.
The company finished last year with record revenues amidst the launch of the ThreatScape API, an intelligence platform that aids integration between other security products.
John Watters, chief executive of iSIGHT, said: "Capital and guidance from a highly experienced long-term investor in the security market will enable iSIGHT Partners to expand our market leading products and help customers continue to change the game in security."
He added that the "blistering array" of cybercrimes last year was "a clear wake up call to boards", citing attacks on retailers’ point-of-sales (PoS) systems, cyber-espionage and hacktivist campaigns.
David Cowan, a partner at Bessemer, said: "With nations, terrorists, criminals and hacktivists routinely launching sophisticated, military-grade cyber attacks, enterprises are saddled with obsolete security products that defend against the common cold rather than targeted, lethal campaigns."
Bessemer is currently invested in the likes of LinkedIn, Yelp and Skype, and is also involved in eight cybersecurity companies that have gone public.
iSight’s offerings are part of a growing trend in intelligence products from cybersecurity vendors, among them the Darktrace Cyber Intelligence Platform and Intel Security’s Threat Intelligence Exchange (TIE).
