FBI cyber threat adviser Filigran raises $58M

French cybersecurity startup Filigran, which counts the FBI and European Commission among its clients, has secured $58 million in a Series C funding round, bringing its total funding to over $100 million since its founding in 2022. This significant investment highlights the growing importance of cybersecurity in both the public and private sectors, particularly within the European context, which is increasingly focused on digital sovereignty. This new funding round, led by Eurazeo, with participation from Deutsche Telekom, Accel, and Insight Partners, demonstrates confidence in Filigran's approach to addressing cyber threats. Filigran's open-source platform utilizes "real-time intelligence" to help organizations anticipate and mitigate cyber risks. The company's existing products include OpenCTI, a cyber threat platform that collates data from various sources and has been downloaded millions of times, and OpenBAS, which simulates cyber attack scenarios. The new funding will facilitate the development of OpenGRC, designed to help organizations prioritize cyber risks, as well as the creation of an AI agent platform. This investment will enable Filigran to expand its reach, particularly into the Pacific and Middle East, while also reinforcing its presence in the US and Europe. This expansion aligns with the increasing global demand for robust cybersecurity solutions, driven by the growing sophistication of cyber threats. Filigran's products, currently used by over 6,000 public and private organizations, including the European Commission, contribute to a more secure digital environment.
