USA – Intrigue, an Austin, Texas-based information security space company, raised $2M in seed funding.
The round was led by LiveOak Venture Partners. The company intends to use the funds to accelerate product development and establish its go-to-market strategy and support the security and developer communities contributing to Intrigue Core, the open source asset discovery project that serves as the infrastructure of its enterprise solutions.Attack Surface Management is defined as the practice of relentless mapping and securing of all Internet-facing assets throughout an organization’s entire network perimeter. It has rapidly become a top enterprise priority, as massive adoption of cloud, SaaS and mobile across a distributed workforce means an expanding and evolving attack surface subject to an increasing number of sophisticated threats. The problem isn’t new, but it is becoming both more important and more difficult to solve, and legacy tools are unable to adapt. Organizations of every size are struggling to find an easy way to understand the size and composition of their attack surface, let alone to try to identify and remediate any exposure.Intrigue offers the industry’s most comprehensive view of an enterprise’s attack surface. It is the only Attack Surface Management solution that fully enables organizations to map their assets, monitor their environment and mitigate ongoing risk.
