Cloud-based cybersecurity and cybercompliance management solutions provider DefenseStorm on Tuesday announced that it raised $12 million in Series B funding, along with $7 million in growth capital financing.
Founded in 2014, the Alpharetta, Georgia-based company serves regional and community banks and credit unions, providing them with capabilities for automating controls, tracking, and reporting.
