Opus Security, a cloud security orchestration and remediation platform, today emerged from stealth with $10 million in seed funding led by YL Ventures, with participation from Tiger Global and angel investors. CEO Meny Har tells TechCrunch that the proceeds will be put toward launching Opus’ platform in general availability, expanding the startup’s footprint in the U.S. and product R&D.
It’s Har’s assertion that cloud security teams rely heavily on manual processes to resolve security incidents, which isn’t scalable. He’s not an unbiased source, exactly. But to his point, a survey commissioned by Orca Security found that 59% of security teams receive more than 500 alerts about public cloud security every day. In a separate poll from ISACA and HCL Technologies released last May, 61% of IT security professionals said their teams were understaffed.
