Vanta expands CrowdStrike partnership and announces 3 new investors

At Vanta, we’re on a mission to secure the internet and protect consumer data by transforming the way companies meet their security compliance and establish and deepen trust with their customers, vendors, and partners. Today we’re excited to share several announcements that help us achieve our mission. 

‍

First, we’ve expanded our strategic partnership with CrowdStrike — a global cybersecurity leader that is redefining modern security with the world’s most advanced cloud-native platform — by launching a new integration to improve compliance and security operations for organizations of all sizes. 

‍

Additionally, we’re thrilled to welcome Atlassian Ventures, HubSpot Ventures, and Workday Ventures as three new strategic investors in our previously announced Series B. 

‍

Last but not least, we’re honored to earn the number 17 spot on the 2023 CNBC Disruptor 50 list, an annual look at the most innovative venture-backed companies using breakthrough technology to meet increasing economic and consumer challenges.

Better together: Vanta and CrowdStrike

As cybersecurity threats continue to increase in volume and complexity, organizations need to prioritize their security posture and build trust with internal and external stakeholders alike. 

‍

Together, CrowdStrike’s and Vanta’s platforms give you visibility into employee access, enabling you to seamlessly configure and manage cloud monitoring to ensure internal policies are being upheld. Our new integration with the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform lets you increase automation for security operations at scale within Vanta, including:

‍

• Confirming your employees’ access status to the Falcon platform, with the ability to remove access for offboarded users
• Providing additional visibility to ensure Falcon has been installed across relevant endpoints and workloads 
• Verifying Falcon deployment across cloud instances to observe and maintain visibility from a single pane of glass 
• Certifying that customer prevention policies are actively performing the relevant checks on the required machines and cloud instances within the Vanta platform

‍

"Cybersecurity and compliance are both on similar trajectories of increasing complexity," said Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer, CrowdStrike. "Together with Vanta, CrowdStrike is automating continuous security and compliance so organizations of all sizes can elevate protection levels in an efficient manner."

New investments from Atlassian, HubSpot, and Workday

We’re also thrilled to announce new investments by Atlassian Ventures, HubSpot Ventures, and Workday Ventures today.

‍

These new investments will enable Vanta to continue growing our go-to-market, R&D, and global expansion efforts as well as collaborate with Atlassian, HubSpot, and Workday on partnership opportunities and product innovation. 

‍

“Developing trust and providing companies with solutions to support them as they grow is essential to our mission to help organizations grow better. Vanta enables companies to strengthen trust with customers by improving security and compliance management, making them a natural partner to HubSpot,” said Eric Richard, CISO and SVP of Engineering Operations, HubSpot. “I’m looking forward to the work Vanta and HubSpot will do together to create more secure digital experiences for companies and their customers.” 

‍

“Teams work in a more connected and collaborative nature than ever before. But with more apps and entry points in every organization’s tech stack, the companies of tomorrow need to ensure they’re secure today,” said Peter Lenke, Head of Atlassian Ventures. “We’re excited to invest in and partner with Vanta as they enable security teams to significantly reduce vendor risk by quickly inventorying vendors, performing security reviews, and remediating issues — all in the same platform they use for security and compliance today. Vanta closes the loop on the security lifecycle from start to finish. With our shared commitment to reimagine and deliver a more secure cloud, we couldn’t be more thrilled to join Vanta in its next phase of growth.”

‍

“The investment in Vanta reflects our commitment to intelligent automation and sophisticated technology that helps organizations navigate an ever-changing world,” said Michael Magaro, Senior Vice President of Corporate Growth, Workday Ventures. “As the strategic capital arm of Workday, trust and transparency are values that are ingrained in everything we do at Workday Ventures. Vanta is well-positioned to evolve the rapidly changing trust and security industry, and we look forward to partnering with them as they continue their journey to safeguard organizations and consumers everywhere.”
