Norwalk-based cybersecurity firm Zorus Inc. raised $9 million in a Series A funding round, the company announced Thursday.
The round was led by Asymmetric Capital Partners with Innospark Ventures and existing seed investor General Catalyst.
Zorus will use the money to add new services to its cybersecurity suite, including detection and response security solutions. Zorus sells A.I.-focused web filtering and productivity monitoring software through the managed service provider network.
Zorus CEO Ian McChord said, “What we can do to protect users and their businesses on top of the Zorus filtering agent is almost limitless.”
Zorus also announced the formation of a new board of directors that includes: Austin McChord, current CEO of Casana and founder and CEO of Datto until the company’s acquisition, and Paul Sagan, a senior advisor at General Catalyst, and formerly CEO of Akamai and non-executive chair of Datto.
Zorus was founded in 2017 by Greg Gage, former director of research and development at Datto, who now serves as the company’s CTO.
