Galvanick leads innovation in industrial safety with $10 million in funding

Galvanick, an early start-up working on an Extended Detection & Response (XDR) platform for industrial infrastructure, has secured $10 million in venture capital funding. This Los Angeles-based company was co-founded by cybersecurity veterans from the US government and Amazon. Several investment firms contributed to the initial funding phase, including MaC Venture Capital, Founders Fund, Village Global and Countdown Capital.

Strengthening of the engineering team

Galvanick plans to use the funding to expand the engineering staff and develop a modern sensing and response platform specifically geared for critical infrastructure deployments. The strengthening of the engineering team will be essential to support the realization of this goal. This growth strategy reflects the company's vision of providing efficient and effective security solutions for the industry.

Critical shortage in the sector

Galvanick's founding team decided to focus on an industry-specific security platform to address the cybersecurity talent shortage in the ICS space. This objective was formulated in response to the lack of tools to analyze disparate industrial data streams in real time. The goal is to build a bridge between the available skills and the needs of the sector, offering tools capable of efficiently managing the large amount of data generated by industrial operations.

Initial product launch and future plans

Galvanick's initial product is designed to aggregate data from industrial environments and businesses, continuously monitoring this data for signs of malicious threats. This will allow both Operations and IT/Security teams to quickly understand the difference and context between normal behavior and malicious behavior. Galvanick's engineering team, which comes from Amazon, Google, Uber and Bechtel, has the expertise to protect industrial systems against cyberattacks. With these resources and expertise, Galvanick is well positioned to become a leader in the industrial safety industry.
