Microsoft M12 invests in HYAS, a leader in intelligence tools for InfoSec and cybersecurity professional

HYAS is a cybersecurity startup that develops tools for InfoSec and cybersecurity professionals. HYAS today announced that it has raised $6.2 million in a Series A funding round led by M12, Microsoft’s Venture Fund.

“Every industry professional today is facing unrelenting adversaries. At HYAS we have dedicated ourselves to helping them finally put their attackers on the back foot,” said Davis. “Our Comox platform allows enterprises to see the unseeable – it’s like X-ray vision for cybersecurity professionals. With the release of our next generation of products, these capabilities will grow significantly.”

“HYAS is going beyond threat detection and providing the attribution tools required to actually identify and prosecute cybercriminals,” said Matthew Goldstein, partner at M12. “Their approach is wholly unique, as are the results, and customers are already responding aggressively. Widespread adoption of Comox and subsequent products will help take bad actors off the internet, and lead to an overall decrease in cybercrime globally.”
