"Chiansec" announced the completion of a new round of financing worth tens of millions of RMB
Zero Trust
On June 30, 2023, the zero-trust security company "Chiansec" announced the completion of a new round of financing worth tens of millions of RMB. According to the announcement, the leading investor in this round is Eight Roads Capital, with participation from Red Point Ventures and existing shareholder FG Venture.
Founded in April 2021, Chiansec focuses on the field of zero-trust security. The company's founder and CEO, He Yi, previously served as the Senior Security Director at Perfect World and became familiar with zero-trust concepts in 2015. Since then, he has been leading teams in implementing and applying the zero-trust philosophy on the client side.
Chiansec's zero-trust product is an integrated platform architecture built on microservices. It primarily includes a zero-trust identity and control center, various zero-trust gateways, and zero-trust endpoint modules. The ideal outcome of this solution is to utilize the gateway's function to visualize various request chains surrounding business applications and accurately trace them based on identity data.
