Sevco Security Launches with $15 Million in Funding to Scale Adoption of Cloud-Native Security Asset Intelligence Platform

PRESS RELEASE

AUSTIN, Texas – June 30, 2021 – Sevco Security today formally launched with $15M in Series A funding led by SYN Ventures, with participation from .406 Ventures, Accomplice, Bill Wood Ventures and fama Ventures. Sevco will use the funding to scale adoption of the industry’s first cloud-native security asset intelligence platform that delivers two fundamental values to customers: continuous converged visibility of all assets across siloed systems; and the telemetry required to understand how assets change in a dynamic environment over time.

This investment marks a collaboration among several pioneers in the $2.2 billion endpoint detection and response (EDR) market and sets the stage for the Sevco team to bring the same category creation leadership to asset management for a cloud-native world. Key players include:

“Sevco exists to fix a decades-old problem: attackers know the networks they target better than the companies that own them,” said Jay Leek, Managing Partner at SYN Ventures. “Led by two executives who helped create the EDR market, Sevco knows how to innovate and operationalize technology for the masses. We believe Sevco will bring the same disruption to security asset intelligence that they did to endpoint security.”

Today, most organizations own the right tools to secure their businesses but have little insight into how these investments are deployed across their environments. This lack of visibility upends the foundation of every major security framework and presents a challenge to security teams: they can't protect what they can't see. With its cloud-native security asset intelligence platform, Sevco brings innovation to asset inventory in three critical areas:

With Sevco’s innovation, customers are able to make sense out of the data they already have, making existing products more effective. Sevco integrates with existing sources via native APIs to pull their view of security asset inventory. The Sevco platform does not require any installed agents, deployed scanners, or remote access to be enabled to an on-premises installation. The cloud-native platform integrates in seconds to existing tools via native-API to capture asset metadata, and Sevco captures inventory reported from all sources every hour.

“Compromise is inevitable. Each attack should remind every organization that the focus should be on raising the bar to the point where they are not worth the attacker’s time,” said J.J. Guy, co-founder and CEO of Sevco Security. “To solve this, we built an asset intelligence platform that delivers converged asset inventory, helping customers get more from existing investments and improve security. The last time this team aligned behind a disruptive technology, we fundamentally changed the way companies approach cybersecurity. We plan to do that again with Sevco.”
