StackRox offers a Kubernetes-native architecture and the StackRox Kubernetes Security Platform to help teams operationalize container and Kubernetes security by integrating with existing DevOps and security tools. Led by CEO Kamal Shah, the company serves cloud-native firms, Global 2000 enterprises, and government agencies. It emphasizes support for DevSecOps and securing cloud-native applications as organizations adapt to remote work. StackRox announced an additional $26.5M in funding to accelerate growth, expand in EMEA, and support R&D for continued innovation in Kubernetes-native container security and compliance. The platform is positioned to help customers manage runtime and compliance requirements across containerized environments. StackRox builds the StackRox Container Security Platform, which discovers container environments, enforces security policies across the build-to-runtime lifecycle, and detects and stops malicious activity. The platform integrates a feedback loop between lifecycle phases and leverages continuous machine learning to reduce false positives and prioritize critical issues. It enforces service-centric deployment policies and profiles runtime risk using factors such as orchestrator settings, network segmentation, secrets, and container configuration. Response options include integration with existing security tools and the ability to terminate containers when needed. StackRox serves Global 2000 enterprises across financial services, technology, e-commerce, and government agencies. The company is privately held and headquartered in Mountain View, California, with 100% of its R&D based in the United States. StackRox builds security software for containerized, cloud‑native applications, offering continuous detection and response across Docker and Kubernetes environments. Its product suite includes StackRox Prevent for centralized governance and risk ranking and StackRox Detect and Respond for runtime monitoring, disruption, and faster attack detection. The platform is powered by the Rox Engine and an Adversarial Intent Model and combines distributed collection, centralized event correlation, and machine learning to identify and stop malicious activity. StackRox counts Google as a key partner and serves customers including City National Bank, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, other government agencies, and Global 2000 companies. The company is privately held and headquartered in Mountain View, Calif. Proceeds from its recent funding will be used to accelerate product development and release schedules and to support expanded go-to-market programs, including hiring new sales and marketing executives. StackRox is a Mountain View, CA-based platform delivering adaptive threat protection for container technologies, including Docker and Kubernetes. It brings to market a patent-pending security architecture coupled with deep instrumentation and machine learning to provide an adaptive security platform for containers. The platform gives security teams high-resolution visibility into containers and defends against code injection, privilege escalation, malicious lateral movement, and data exfiltration while streamlining security operations. The company is launching a new security platform with enterprise customers across finance, media, technology, and government sectors. StackRox is used by Global 2000 enterprises and has partnerships with Docker, Amazon, Google, IBM, and Red Hat. The company will use the $14m in funding to invest in product development, marketing and sales.
