Vorlon is trying to stop the next big API breach


The cybersecurity startup, which helps companies limit third-party API threats, secures $15.7M from Accel.

The founder also noted that alongside detecting vulnerabilities and exposures, Vorlon’s platform looks at the type of data third-party APIs have access to and where that can be connected to other applications. “In many cases, organizations won’t find out about a vendor’s data breach until months after the fact,” said Steve Loughlin, Partner at Accel, in a statement. The Delaware-based startup, with an R&D subsidiary in Tel Aviv, currently has around 22 employees, and plans to increase that number by adding more people to its sales and product R&D teams using the money from its Series A round, which was led by Accel.
