StackPath operates a global edge network infrastructure that delivers enterprise-grade security and performance through an on-demand platform with cloud-scale control and flexibility. The company offers secure edge services that enable developers to protect, accelerate, and innovate cloud properties ranging from websites to media delivery and IoT services. Led by CTO Wen Temitim and CEO/Chairman Lance Crosby, StackPath serves a diverse customer base including Fortune 500 enterprises and individual developers across digital media, gaming, ad tech, software development, and e-commerce. Emerging from stealth in 2016, the company has built out its platform and infrastructure since then. StackPath intends to use the new funds to accelerate growth, product development, engineering, and go-to-market activities. The article reports equity raised to date of $396M. StackPath is launching a security-as-a-service platform that bundles content delivery, web application firewalling, DDoS mitigation and consumer VPN services delivered via APIs and informed by machine learning. The company plans to start with secure content delivery (leveraging MaxCDN technology) and roll out tiered pricing in August ranging from $20 to $600 per user per month depending on features and bandwidth. Its platform integrates WAF and DDoS protections into its points of presence and centralizes threat data so services can share real-time intelligence. StackPath has already incorporated technologies from four acquisitions—MaxCDN, Fireblade, Cloak and Staminus—to provide CDN, WAF, VPN and anti-DDoS capabilities and to bring customers onto its network. Operating metrics disclosed in the articles include MaxCDN’s more than 16,000 customers and Cloak’s roughly 15,000 paying users and 1 million downloads. The team includes founder and CEO Lance Crosby and hires such as Andrew Higginbotham (COO/president) and Kim Sheehy (CFO).
