The platform’s latest investors include AT&T, Accenture, Nokia, Mitsui and Temasek. A number of Team8’s existing investors, such as Cisco and Bessemer Venture Partners, also contributed to this funding round.
“Cyberattacks are evolving and are no longer only a CIO, CSO or IT department issue,” said John Donovan, chief strategy officer and group president of AT&T Technology and Operations. “Breaches, leaked documents and cyberattacks impact customers, stock prices, brand reputation and competitive edge. This strategic investment is key to not merely iterating, but innovating against today’s highly adaptive attacker.”
Team8 was founded by veterans of Israel’s Unit 8200, equivalent to the United State’s National Security Agency.
