Zero Networks Secures $55 Million Series C Funding

Israeli cybersecurity startup Zero Networks has announced a $55 million Series C funding round, bringing its total funding to over $100 million. The company provides automated, agentless microsegmentation solutions designed to prevent lateral movement and block ransomware attacks, simplifying the implementation of zero-trust security. Their platform dynamically learns network behavior and enforces least-privilege access controls without manual configurations or additional agents.

This latest round was led by Highland Europe, with participation from existing investors F2 Venture Capital, PICO Venture Partners LP, Venrock Associates, and U.S. Venture Partners LP. The funding will be used to expand Zero Networks' team and scale its go-to-market efforts globally.

Zero Networks has experienced significant growth, tripling its customer base and achieving over 300% revenue growth since its last funding round. Their notable clients include Evercore Inc., Vermeer Corp., and several other prominent financial institutions. Jacob Bernstein from Highland Europe will join the company's board of directors.

The company's innovative approach to microsegmentation addresses the complexity and limitations of existing solutions, offering a scalable and powerful defense against modern cyber threats.
