Today’s era is the prime growth climate for companies in the cybersecurity sector. As more businesses move their data to the cloud and shift to operate remotely, many are simultaneously adopting products to help defend their internal systems against a range of digital threats.

Launched in 2018, FortifyData encompases a range of tools that work to provide companies with accurate risk insights. Its solutions include external and internal attack surface management, third-party risk management and cloud security posture management, to name a few. The platform currently serves enterprise clients like Global Payments and Nike, as reported by Atlanta Inno, and has recorded annual growth of 250 percent every year since its launch.

“In today’s world, cyber risks cannot be assessed using a fixed risk model, as every entity and their threat landscape is different and should be presented accurately. We are proud to pioneer a solution to address these issues,” Victor Gamra, FortifyData’s CEO, said in a statement. “Our alliance with these investors gives us the opportunity to accelerate our growth and support the consistent high demand for our platform.” 

Continuing with its growth trend, FortifyData is investing its new injection of capital in building out new product integrations as well as its internal team. Currently 37 people strong, FortifyData plans to increase its team by 20 over the next 18 months with a focus on sales and marketing. The company currently lists a handful of remote roles on its site spanning executive positions, engineering, sales and more.
