Security Startup Shadow Networks Has Raised Over $10 Million

Shadow Networks, a sneaky new company with high Knowledge Engineers, has announces a $10 Million in round of funding from US Securities and Exchange Commission under its previous Name ZanttZ Inc. Shadow Networks is a Security startup from United States of America and specialized in Network security Technology development for the US government and develop virtual emulators where Programmers cam simulates cyber attacks. Firm provided a whole lot of services to US government to programmers letting know of the any online attack, by which they can figure out the vulnerabilities in their Networks. The investors including Paladin Capital Group, a DC based Funding firm, interested into defense technology investments, Yaletwon Venture Partner and two other undisclosed venture firms. Online threat is evolving with the tech advancement so Shadow security was launched to tackle such hackers and attackers.



Former Shadow Networks executive “These APTs exist and they try to establish a beachhead in the company that gets targeted. Once they’re in there they’re trying to get to the crown jewels, Shadow Networks is providing these highly scalable honey nets to create virtual infrastructure to obfuscate targets. It increases your attack surface and creates these shadow networks around your infrastructure. The company’s technology is so impressive that even investors who aren’t backing it are willing to sing its praises — like Red point Ventures partner John Walecka, who named-dropped the company in an op-ed on the state of security technology”




This New Capital, Shadow Networks chief Executive and Company Co-founder Eric Winsborrow said, will be used  to simulate the attack into the matrix to know exactly what was the flaw, by which attacker breached the security. Also this tech was similar to putting the attacks inside the Virtual Networks called matrix, like agents in Matrix movie.
