StackRox
CEO: Kamal Shah
StackRox was founded in 2014, and in September closed a $26.5 million venture funding round led by Menlo Ventures to accelerate growth, expand in key geographies such as Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and support R&D efforts around Kubernetes-native container security. The Mountain View, Calif.-based company employs 71 people, up from 63 employees a year ago, LinkedIn reported.
The company in March integrated with AWS services to provide security and compliance for container and Kubernetes workloads on AWS. Then in May, the company added new capabilities to help analysts and incident responders make more informed security and compliance decisions, helping them quickly identify the most important event details, view them chronologically and add custom notes.
StackRox in August launched operations in EMEA to provide global customers with local access to its Kubernetes-native security capabilities. Then in October, the company debuted an open-source static analysis tool to identify misconfigurations in Kubernetes deployments, enhancing developer productivity while ensuring the automatic enforcement of hardened security policies for Kubernetes applications.
