The London and California-headquartered business has raised $43.5m (£27m) from its VC backers, which includes Balderton, Montagu Newhall Associates and Scale Venture Partners. Its technology is designed to protect corporate networks from viruses and spyware, and to allow companies to control and securely use the internet.
