Following the massive infusion of cash, investors are valuing the company at $8.3 billion.

San Francisco, California-based Lacework was founded in 2015 by Mike Speiser (managing director of Sutter Hill Ventures) Sanjay Kalra (now founder and CEO at ShiftRight), and Vikram Kapoor (CTO). It was built on the principal that cloud security is fundamentally a data problem, and uses its machine-learning Polygraph platform to collect, analyze, and correlate all corporate data across hybrid AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Kubernetes environments.

Polygraph’s ability to use AI and machine learning to surface the most critical events with the least amount of noise is key to the company’s growth.
