ARMO, the Tel Aviv-based company behind Kubescape, the popular open source Kubernetes security platform, today announced that it has raised a $30 million Series A funding round led by Tiger Global. New investor Hyperwise Ventures as well as existing investors Pitango First and Peled Ventures also participated in this round.

Kubescape, which developers can access through a command line interface or a browser-based UI, helps businesses scan their Kubernetes clusters, YAML files and HELM charts for misconfigurations, potential vulnerabilities and issues with their user configurations. The platform also supports multiple security and compliance frameworks like NSA and MITRE, but it also allows businesses to create their own customized frameworks. What’s maybe just as important as finding those issues is that Kubescape then also shows these teams why a certain control failed — allowing them, in some cases, to make the changes right in the Kubescape UI if they want to do so — and how to fix them.
