UK cybersecurity firm Darktrace raises $50M, now valued at $1.65B
U.K.-based cyber defense firm Darktrace has raised $50 million in its recent Series E round of funding, putting the company’s valuation at $1.65 billion. The company said Wednesday that the funding — led by Vitruvian Partners, with help from KKR and 1011 Ventures — will drive further international expansion. Darktrace is one of the largest enterprise security startups on the market. Its proprietary technology sits on a company’s network and uses machine learning to identify and stop malicious behavior, which helps administrators tackle threats as they arise. Since a $75 million injection at its Series D funding a year ago, Darktrace said it has more than doubled its deployments to more than 7,000 networks, and counts London Gatwick Airport, AIG and the Science Museum Group as customers.

A San Francisco ha presentato un nuovo visore chiamato Quest, autonomo ma non a bassissimo prezzo. Si va ad affiancare a Oculus Rift e Oculus Go, strategicamente vuole stare tra i due puntando quindi a un utente della realtà virtuale meno occasionale. (Fonte: Il Sole 24 Ore)
