Security Week: Microsoft M12 Leads $25 Million Valence Security Series A

Valence Security, an early-stage startup with roots in Israel, is attracting significant interest from venture capital investors.

Exactly a year after emerging from stealth with aggressive plans to tackle software-as-a-service (SaaS) application security, Valence Security has closed a $25 million Series A funding round led by Microsoft’s M12 venture fund.

The latest funding brings the total raised by Valence Security to $32 million and provides a runway for the company to build out its SSPM (SaaS Security Posture Management) technology in a lucrative but crowded market.
