The round was led by Brightmind Partners, with participation from existing investors Sequoia Capital and Insight Partners, bringing total funding to $45 million. Prelude will use the capital to commercialize runtime memory protection-technology that can detect and stop malicious code at execution-and to expand platform support and customer deployment.

Prelude Security is a next generation endpoint security company built to monitor existing controls and provide runtime memory protection, entirely in user mode. Backed by Sequoia Capital, Insight Partners, and other leading investors, Prelude is a small team of security researchers and software developers working to reinvent the way we protect endpoints in a world where threats are complex, emergent, and accelerating.
