Splunk Ventures is the corporate venture capital arm of Splunk Inc., the data platform leader for security and observability, which plans to work with Ermetic to build a partnership to further help customers solve security challenges in multi-cloud infrastructure environments.

This follows Ermetic's recent $70M Series B round of financing led by Qumra Capital with support from new investor Forgepoint Capital and participation from existing investors Accel, Glilot Capital Partners, Norwest Venture Partners and Target Global. The company has now raised $100M in funding for its security platform that provides holistic multi-cloud protection for global enterprise customers.

Ermetic helps prevent breaches by reducing the attack surface of cloud infrastructure and enforcing least privilege at scale in the most complex environments. The Ermetic SaaS platform provides comprehensive cloud security for AWS, Azure and GCP that spans both cloud infrastructure entitlements management (CIEM) and cloud security posture management (CSPM). The company is led by proven technology entrepreneurs whose previous companies have been acquired by Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks and others.
