London's ScanSafe To Fight Malware Harder With $15M In Fresh Funds
ScanSafe, a London-based Web security-as-a-service firm, has raised $15M in Series B led by Scale Venture Partners with return backer Benchmark Capital. The company sells security and control over Web and IM by scanning traffic in real-time and blocking malware and unwanted content like gambling and porno before it reaches the corporate network. So it competes with the big security companies but does so with a hosted platform twist. ScanSafe reports spyware was up 254% in 2006 while Web viruses declined 32% in 2006.
The company was co-founded by and is led by a pair of brothers who both came out of investment banking - Eldar and Roy Tuvey.
