The funding round was led by Canaan Partners, with participation from existing investors Ten Eleven Ventures and Cyberstarts.

The new funding will drive Axis’ continued development of its Zero Trust platform and expansion outside of North America. It will also enable further investment in go-to-market resources, including an expanded channel program and team. The company also announced enhancements to its Axis Application Access Cloud as well as integrations with leading security providers CrowdStrike, Splunk and Okta. Dor Knafo, co-founder and CEO of Axis Security said,
“Our approach is a proven game-changer for customers. We’re solving one of the most complex security challenges IT faces right now in rapidly onboarding remote workers and third parties simply and securely. Doing this at scale is proving to be far more difficult than many organizations expected. We’re giving IT teams a single, managed solution for access, security, control and scalability without the complexity and end-user headaches of what’s available today.”
