Summary
Cytix has announced a $7m Series A funding round led by Northern Gritstone, with participation from existing investors Auriga Cyber Ventures and NPIF II – PXN Equity Finance. The funding will accelerate rollout of the company's change risk platform, which monitors every software change a business makes, analyses the risk introduced, and provides evidence of how that risk was handled.
The platform addresses a growing problem: as AI-assisted development and continuous delivery increase the volume of code changes at 'machine speed', most security leaders lack control or understanding of those changes from a risk perspective. Cytix's solution sits between a customer's software development lifecycle and their risk, security and compliance functions, serving as a control point for every software change.
The Series A funding will help Cytix reach enterprise and regulated businesses where change governance is a regulatory obligation. The platform is available on general release from 12 August and customers can access it directly through Cytix or via managed service partnerships with NCC Group and KPMG.
