Nozomi told SecurityWeek there is not a fixed timeframe for an IPO, and that the funding, combined with customer revenue gives, them the “optionality to IPO.”

Nozomi says the funding will be used to help scale product development efforts and grow its sales, marketing and partner efforts. 

The industrial cybersecurity firm says it has come off a record year of growth in 2020 with 110% increase in annual recurring revenue and 2x expansion of its customer base.

The company’s plans to build a Cyber Center of Excellence with Lockheed Martin moved forward in June when the Swiss Federal Council selected Lockheed Martin’s F-35 from its New Fighter Aircraft competition.

Triangle Peak Partners was joined by all prior investors, including GGV Capital, Lux Capital, Energize Ventures, Planven Entrepreneur Ventures, and Activate Capital.
