Monarx, a Salt Lake City, Utah-based cybersecurity software company that provides website and web app security to protect against attacks, raised $6.1 million in funding.
The round was led by Signal Peak Ventures, with participation from Pelion Venture Partners, Kickstart Fund, and Crosscut Ventures. Monarx will use the funds to further fuel partner growth.
The company’s easiest-to-deploy solution enables hosting providers the choice to automatically protect against attacks on websites and/or monetize malware by detecting malicious activity and selling automatic protection to site owners.
Its unique AI-powered technology blocks more malware and has way fewer false positives than any other tool - 35% more and 69X fewer, respectively, than the closest competitors.
"I’m excited to have Ben joining our team, as he brings tremendous experience and credibility in cybersecurity,” said Monarx CEO Jeremy Warren. "These are challenging times for a lot of technology companies, but I’m proud that we’ve been able to keep growing successfully by focusing on solving core problems and driving concrete value for our hosting partners. Thanks to Ben and all of Signal Peak for recognizing what we’ve built and choosing to join us as we continue on our mission to secure the world’s websites."
