Funding Rounds

Summary

DB Networks has raised $4.5 million in Series B funding from Khosla Ventures for its security platform for real-time advanced database attack detection. SQL injection is a code-injection technique that exploits a security vulnerability in an application’s software. Security software companies will keep black lists of IP addresses to protect their clients from attacks. Hackers use sites like Facebook to spread malware that unsuspecting users then carry with them. DB Networks competes with a host of security vendors, including F-Secure, Symantec, McAfee and Trend Micro.
