Synack, Inc., a Redwood City, CA-based hacker-powered intelligence platform, raised $21.25m in Series C funding.

The round was led by Microsoft Ventures with participation from new investors Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Singtel Innov8 and current investors GGV Capital, GV (formerly Google Ventures) and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. In conjunction with the funding, Microsoft Ventures will take a seat on Synack’s board along with Gary Steele, CEO of Proofpoint and security industry veteran.
