花边土地投资5.25亿美元，收入增长300%

随着这一流行病在2020年开始流行，企业加快了向云服务的转移。云安全初创公司Lacework在正确的时间出现在正确的地点，因为客户正在寻找保护其云本地工作负载的方法。该公司报告称，收入连续第二年同比增长300%。

今天，它以5.25亿美元的D系列获得了这种表现的奖励。它并没有给出确切的估值，只是说它超过了10亿美元，这是你在如此巨大的投资中所期望的。萨特山和Altimeter Capital在D1 Capital Management、Coatue、Dragoneer Investment Group、Liberty Global Ventures、Snowflake Ventures和Tiger Global Management的帮助下领跑了这一轮。该公司目前已筹集到近6亿美元。

Lacework首席执行官丹•哈伯德（DanHubbard）表示，投资者如此广泛兴趣的原因之一是公司安全解决方案的广度。他说：“我们使公司能够安全地在云端构建，我们跨越多个不同类别的市场，这使客户能够做到这一点。”。

他说，这包括一系列服务，包括配置和法规遵从性、作为代码的基础设施的安全性、构建时和运行时漏洞扫描以及Kubernetes和容器等云原生环境的运行时安全性。

原文：As the pandemic took hold in 2020, companies accelerated their move to cloud services. Lacework,  the cloud security startup, was in the right place at the right time as customers looked for ways to secure their cloud native workloads. The company reported that revenue grew 300% year over year for the second straight year.

It was rewarded for that kind of performance with a $525 million Series D today. It did not share an exact valuation, only saying that it exceeded $1 billion, which you would expect on such a hefty investment. Sutter Hill and Altimeter Capital  led the round with help from D1 Capital Management, Coatue, Dragoneer Investment Group, Liberty Global Ventures, Snowflake  Ventures and Tiger Global Management. The company has now raised close to $600 million.

Lacework CEO Dan Hubbard says one of the reasons for such widespread interest from investors is the breadth of the company’s security solution. “We enable companies to build securely in the cloud, and we span across multiple different categories of markets, which enable the customers to do that,” he said.

He says that encompasses a range of services, including configuration and compliance, security for infrastructure as code, build time and runtime vulnerability scanning and runtime security for cloud native environments like Kubernetes and containers.
