Omnes, Alliance Entreprendre inject €10m into Sekoia

The GPs stated that the round would be mostly dedicated to accelerating the marketing of Sekoia's platform to European public and private companies, and to strengthening its R&D teams.

This is the first time Sekoia has brought on external investors, having been self-financed for the past 10 years, the company said.

Company
Founded in 2008, Sekoia originally operated mostly as a cybersecurity consultancy. Since 2016, the company has been evolving towards software publishing, with the aim of creating a European alternative to the other threat-intelligence-focused offerings on the market, which tend to be US-based. It launched its Sekoia.io platform in January 2020, with the goal of helping organisations anticipate and detect threats, and automate adjusted responses.

With 80 employees today, the company plans to recruit 20 to 30 additional data scientists and sales engineers over the next six months.
