oak9, a Chicago, IL-based provider of an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security platform, raised $8M in funding.

The round, which brought oak9 to $14m raised over the last 15 months, was led by Menlo Ventures, with participation from Cisco Investments, Morgan Stanley’s Next Level Fund, and HPA.

The company intends to use the funds to grow its free Community Edition and help launch a next-gen Security as Code offering to make cloud native security more accessible. 

Led by CEO Raj Datta, oak9 secures cloud native infrastructure for developers. Its Security as Code continuously finds, analyzes, and remediates security and compliance issues in real-time, as changes occur in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and deployed cloud workloads. The company’s proprietary Security as Code (SaC) blueprints support 20-plus compliance standards out-of-the-box including HIPAA, HITRUST, PCI, SOC2 and ISO27001. oak9’s open-sourced Security as Code also enables security engineers to extend oak9 security blueprints for additional guard rails.

oak9 recently opened a new office in India.
