Guardz, a cybersecurity company empowering Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT professionals to protect small and medium-sized businesses, announced that it has raised US$56 million in Series B funding led by ClearSky, with participation from new Investor, Phoenix Financial and existing Investors Glilot Capital Partners, SentinelOne, Hanaco Ventures, iAngels, GKFF Ventures, Lumir and others. This latest investment reflects Guardz’s rapid growth, bringing total funding to US$84 million in just over two years.
As cyberattacks grow in sophistication and increasingly target small and mid-sized businesses, the backbone of the economy, the MSPs and IT professionals serving them find themselves at the forefront of the battle. But MSPs face mounting cybersecurity challenges, with 77% struggling to manage multiple fragmented solutions amid a constantly evolving threat landscape, which leads to tedious manual processes, slower response times and higher operating costs. The future of SMB cybersecurity relies on unifying tools into a cohesive and AI-native cyberdefence ecosystem. Guardz is at the forefront of this effort, enabling MSPs to protect their clients more effectively across all attack vectors and scale their businesses sustainably.
“This funding propels Guardz forward in our mission to bring enterprise-level cybersecurity to SMBs and to continue to empower MSPs with unified security controls and automated detection and response,” said Dor Eisner, CEO and Co-founder of Guardz. “MSPs are the first line of defence for these organisations – the engine of the global economy – and we are excited to continue providing them with our best-in-class platform, to ensure that businesses are not only secured and insured, but can thrive.”
