Symmetry Systems, a San Jose, CA-based AI-powered data-centric security company, raised $17.7m in funding.
Backers included ForgePoint Capital and Prefix Capital and new participants W11 Capital Management and TSG (The Syndicate Group).
The company intends to use the funds to expand operations and its business reach.
Led by Mohit Tiwari, Co-Founder and CEO, Symmetry Systems provides a hybrid cloud data security platform that safeguards data at scale in AWS, GCP, Azure services, and on-premise databases while supporting a data-centric zero trust model. With Symmetry, security and compliance teams can address threats quickly through AI-driven data security posture management (DSPM). The company provides visibility into data risks from excessive permissions and anomalous data flows while giving organizations the evidence required to demonstrate compliance best practices.
Partners, including managed security service providers, incident response teams, and GSIs such as Accenture, use it to proactively harden their customers’ data against risks and respond with data-object level precision within minutes when an incident does occur.
Symmetry is building an LLM-based natural language interface, where even a business user without deep cloud expertise can understand what data and what actions create a security or compliance risk, as well as what options can iteratively improve data risk, through a sequence of plain language prompts.
