Uptycs was founded in 2016 by Ganesh Pai (former chief architect at Akamai Technologies), Uma Reddy (former VP of engineering at Sonus) and Mike Hluchyj (former CTO, carrier products at Akamai), who currently serves on the company’s board. Making security analytics accessible since its founding Meanwhile, our Portfolio Growth team, will be supporting Uptycs in its mission to help modern enterprises adopt its SaaS-based approach to using Osquery for security analytics and performance metrics of cloud workloads and endpoints. With the new funding, we’re excited to see Uptycs continue to support its enterprise customers, augment its marketing and sales capabilities, improve product development and expand product capabilities. Inspired by how Salesforce and SAP have changed the CRM and business process industries with SQL based applications, Uptycs built a platform that uses SQL to extract operating system information with Osquery agents as tables and relational databases, and translates them into security analysis use cases and eventually, performance metrics visibility. Uptycs pairs Osquery, a best-in-class open-source endpoint agent, with a proprietary SQL-powered analytics platform to enable a unified view of server workloads and endpoints across heterogeneous environments (like the public cloud, on-premise, laptops and more) for security analytics and performance monitoring. And more recently, mandated remote work has increased security risk, making products like Uptycs mission critical. Enterprises have also seen a demand to protect non-Windows operating systems, such as macOS on productivity endpoints and Linux on cloud workloads. In addition, the emergence of ephemeral workloads in modern infrastructure has caused the amount of security telemetry (hence noise) to explode. Firstly, to address the growing threat of cyber-attacks, enterprises have increasingly been running agents from siloed security applications. Uptycs is able to do all this across a company’s server endpoints (such as Linux VMs and containers) within data centers, cloud providers like AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, and productivity endpoints such as macOS and Windows.Ī cumulation of several trends has driven the need for cybersecurity solutions like Uptycs. #Data sets for cyber osquery seriesWe’re excited to announce today that we’re leading $30 million Series B financing for Uptycs, a start-up that’s revolutionizing security analytics by providing enterprises with a SQL-based security analytics platform for performing intrusion detection, vulnerability management, incident investigation, workload protection, security audits and compliance checks.
