- The company focuses on protecting sensitive data during its most vulnerable phase – in transit
LeakSignal, a provider of microservices cybersecurity solutions, has successfully secured $1.6 million in an oversubscribed seed funding round. The investment, led by Shasta Ventures, with contributions from TFX Capital, Blu Ventures, and Cyber Mentor Fund, highlights the company’s innovative approach to protecting sensitive data in transit. LeakSignal’s solutions cater to the security needs of modern architectures like microservices, serverless frameworks, and large language models. The company’s method of real-time, in-transit data classification is crucial in preventing sensitive data leakage, especially in the current landscape where traditional security measures are proving inadequate.
With the new funding, LeakSignal aims to further accelerate its growth and product development initiatives. The company plans to expand its outreach and equip platform and security engineers with advanced tools for data-in-transit protection. Notably, LeakSignal has already collaborated with top banks in the US and a major international airline, emphasizing the need for enhanced observability and data leakage mitigation in large regulated enterprises. CEO & Co-Founder Wesley Hales expressed gratitude for the investor support and highlighted the company’s mission to make data in-transit classification accessible to all regulated organizations.
Previous funding rounds from prominent cybersecurity angels demonstrate continued confidence in LeakSignal’s vision and technology. The company’s focus on enhancing cybersecurity in microservices is crucial as businesses transition towards AI-driven application development and cloud-native platforms, facing challenges that existing security solutions are unable to fully address.
