Mocana Raises $11 Million in New Funding to Revolutionize IoT Security and Enable IoT Devices to Defend Themselves Against Cyber Attacks
oday, Mocana, an industrial IoT security vendor, announced an $11M funding round to combat the growing security threat affecting the Industrial IoT. With the industrial IoT market expected to grow to over $900B in the next seven years, many companies are exploring ways to take advantage of new devices and sources of data. However, they're finding an increasing number of vulnerabilities, in the form of hacks and security breaches -- like the WCry worm -- that make IT teams question the feasibility of widespread deployment. Mocana's vision for securing IoT networks is different from the traditional perimeter-based approach because the Mocana IoT Security Platform starts at the device level and integrates into embedded systems to ensure that each part of the network is protected.
