CounterTack, which provides information about and protection against targeted attacks against commercial and government networks, says it’s taken another $5 million in investment money to continue scaling its business.

The new funding comes from Razor’s Edge Ventures and brings the CounterTack’s total investment take to $34.5 million.

“CounterTack’s innovative approach to endpoint threat detection and response helps significantly close the time delta between breach and remediation,” said Mark Spoto, managing director, Razor’s Edge Ventures.

“Legacy endpoint solutions are completely ineffective against the current cyber threat landscape such as advanced persistent threats and zero-day exploits.”
