AgileBlue, the cybersecurity company in Valley View, Ohio, has raised $2.25 million in preferred equity from a group of experienced technology and private equity investors.
AgileBlue is a cybersecurity operations center-as-a-service and extended detection and response platform focused on detecting indicators of cyber-attack before a breach occurs, AgileBlue said in a press release.
The company's platform "automates 24x7-managed detection and response in a world that sees ransomware and data breaches on a daily basis," said Kevin MacDonald, the founder, and former chief technology officer and co-CEO of BlackMountain Systems, in the release.
MacDonald is serving as an independent director to represent AgileBlue's new investors, which include Atlas Innovate and several former partners of the Blackstone Group, Black Mountain Systems, the Carlyle Group and Tetragon Financial Group, the company said.
"We are working tremendously hard to create an innovative company focused on helping our clients defend their businesses against ransomware, phishing, and every emerging threat hitting businesses all over the world," said Tony Pietrocola, co-founder, and president of AgileBlue, in the release.
"Our goal is to obsess over our customers, helping them navigate the complexity of 24x7 monitoring, detection and response" across on-premises, cloud and remote-working environments, Pietrocola said.
