SpecterOps, a Seattle, WA-based provider of adversary-focused cybersecurity solutions, raised $8.5M in Series A extension.
The round, which brought the total amount to $33.5M, was led by Ballistic Ventures. As part of the deal, Ballistic Ventures Co-Founder and Strategic Partner Kevin Mandia, the CEO and founder of Mandiant, will serve as an Observer to SpecterOps’ Board of Directors.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate the adoption of BloodHound Enterprise (BHE), its platform for comprehensively removing identity attack paths in Microsoft’s Active Directory (AD) and Azure AD, and expand research and development initiatives across SpecterOps, including BloodHound free and open source software (FOSS).
Led by CEO David McGuire, SpecterOps is a cybersecurity solutions and services provider specializing in deep knowledge of adversary tradecraft to help clients detect and defend against sophisticated attackers. The company releases numerous widely used free and open-source security toolsets, including BloodHound, a penetration testing solution which maps attack paths in Active Directory and Azure environments.
In April, SpecterOps announced a $25M investment led by Decibel, with several individual investors such as Jon Oberheide and Dug Song, the co-founders of Duo Security.
