BitglassNew investor Quadrille Capital and existing investors Future Fund, New Enterprise Associates (NEA), Norwest and Singtel Innov8 participated in the funding round. Bitglass says it will use the money to continue its growth in the Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) market.

The company previously raised $10 million in 2013, $25 million in 2014, and $45 million in 2017.
