Spikes Security has raised $11 million in funding, as reported by Ben Kepes of Forbes in the article “Spikes Security Raises $11m To Remove Endpoint Browsers And Replace Them With Something Better”.
Spikes Security and its Founder Branden Spikes are Graduates of the Silicon Valley Founder Institute.
Spikes, the former CIO of SpaceX and PayPal, formed Spikes Security in 2012 as a means to avert browser-borne malware attacks in Linux, Mac OSX and Windows platforms. Instead of running browsers directly on your computer, Spikes’ AirGap technology instead presents the user with a virtualized web experience outside of the firewall. By removing the endpoint browser and replacing it with a protected environment inside the Spikes Security data center, Spikes offers users a safe space for web content. Fear of cyber attacks and malware are a thing of past with their innovative security by isolation.
Since its launch in 2012, Spikes has been making waves in the world of technology, attracting the attention by way of online outlets like Bloomberg Businessweek, ZDNet, and The Street. Spikes most recent funding gain of $11 million adds on to their already impressive previous rounds of investor interest, bringing this Silicon Valley venture up to a total of $14.4 million over 7 total investors. Major investors this round include Lakewood & Company, LLC, Benhamou Global Ventures (BGV), and Javelin Venture Partners.
