NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 10, 2024 / ShelterZoom announced today its latest funding round, bringing the company's total capital raise to an excess of $22 million to date. This comes on the heels of the company's continuous technology breakthroughs in cybersecurity, as is showcased by the securing of master distribution agreements with TD SYNNEX (one of the world's largest global IT distributors) and one of Japan's leading technology distributors. The company is also launching infrastructure for each geographic region to host their data locally in direct response to the huge demand ShelterZoom has seen for its products from organizations in countries who need solutions outside of US territories.
"The enthusiasm we saw for this funding round shows the widespread need for easy-to-implement solutions which solve one of today's largest threats," said Chao Cheng-Shorland, CEO and Cofounder of ShelterZoom. "Each week I speak with organizations across a wide variety of verticals. All of them have stories of cyberattacks or attempts of cyberattacks on their company that span the gamut in terms of how hackers use any means available to breach security barriers. No company should be complacent about the reality we are now living in."
The number of cyberattack victims doubled from 2022 to 2023 and data breaches increased by 20% in the same time frame. Some regions, such as the Middle East, saw a 77% increase in ransomware attacks. Nowhere is this cybervulnerability more evident than the healthcare industry, which recently suffered the attack on Change Healthcare-one of the most widespread and devastating hacks in health care to date. The influx of AI-driven technology has led the UK Intelligence agencies to predict an even greater increase in cyberattacks this year.
"The demand for our products in Europe and other regions is just as high outside the US as within, so we're happy to announce we can now accommodate these organizations' infrastructure needs and help them scale their cybersecurity protections without requiring any additional financial outlay. Our solution is the simplest andmost powerful, yet affordable way for these companies to bring their workflow up to today's digital security standards," continued Cheng-Shorland.
