Huskeys raises USD27m Series A to secure the AI-driven internet
US-Israeli cybersecurity company Huskeys has raised USD 27 million in a Series A financing round led by Blackstone Innovations Investments, bringing its total funding to USD 35 million.
The round also included participation from Skinos Ventures, Yishay Yovel, the investment arms of Okta and Zscaler, and Merlin Ventures, alongside senior cybersecurity executives and other private investors.
