K2 Cyber Security is a San Jose, Calif.-based provider of a cloud workload protection platform purpose-built to defend hybrid cloud environments. The company was founded in 2017 by Pravin Madhani, who serves as CEO.

The offering can be deployed separately or as an integrated platform and protects unpatched software, web applications and workloads running in VMs, containers or on bare metal. K2 has developed an application micro-segmentation approach based on workload identities to prevent lateral movement of threats in dynamic cloud environments.
