CPE Media News (11/15/2019) – Corsa Security has raised $11 million in new funding from existing investor Roadmap Capital.
Corsa will use the money to capitalize on the momentum for its turnkey network security virtualization platform by expanding its commercial and marketing efforts along with accelerating its roadmap and partnership activities.
Ottawa based Corsa Security has created the first turnkey network security virtualization platform that streamlines deployment, management and operations of virtualized next generation firewall (NGFW) arrays for large networks. The Corsa platform simplifies how large enterprises and service providers scale traffic inspection, including SSL/TLS encrypted, since they subscribe to the service based on their traffic inspection capacity needs and then pay as they grow for much lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
