CloudSEK, a Bengaluru-based cybersecurity firm, has raised $10 million in a Series B2 funding round from Connecticut Innovations (CI), the strategic venture capital arm of the State of Connecticut.
CloudSEK had previously raised $19 million in its Series B1 round and has now concluded the Series B round with this B2 tranche, comprising a mix of primary and secondary capital. CloudSEK’s Series B1 was led by US-based strategic investor Commvault, with participation from MassMutual Ventures, Inflexor Ventures, Prana Ventures, and Tenacity Ventures.
The fresh funds raised will be used to accelerate its expansion in the U.S., with plans to establish its regional hub for operations, talent, and partnerships in Connecticut. The company is preparing to onboard strategic local talent and build deep collaborations with corporate partners, universities, and research ecosystems across the state.
Founded in 2015 by Rahul Sasi, CloudSEK is a Predictive Cyber Threat Intelligence platform purpose-built to detect and anticipate AI-driven attack chains before they form. Our cloud-native SaaS platform continuously maps digital footprints, correlates weak signals, and identifies emerging attack paths to help organizations stay ahead of evolving threats.
CloudSEK recently announced a strategic partnership with Seed Group, a company of The Private Office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum, to deliver predictive cyber intelligence and AI-attack detection capabilities organizations across the UAE.
Rahul Sasi, CloudSEK co-founder and CEO, said, “Becoming the first Indian-origin cybersecurity company to receive backing from a U.S. state fund is a milestone for CloudSEK, as well as for the entire Indian cybersecurity ecosystem. With Connecticut as our U.S. anchor, we are committed to creating jobs, investing in localized research, and strengthening cyber resilience in the Western world. CloudSEK is proud to advance its identity as a truly Indo-American cybersecurity company.”
Alison Malloy, Managing Director, Investments at Connecticut Innovations, said, “At our 2025 VentureClash India pitch event, CloudSEK distinguished itself as a truly innovative provider of cybersecurity and predictive threat capabilities used by hundreds of businesses around the world. We are excited to welcome CloudSEK to the CI portfolio and look forward to supporting their team as they establish their U.S. hub and pursue new customer and partnership opportunities in Connecticut.”
