Opscura a Company Specializing in Cybersecurity for ICS Receives 94 Million in Series A Investment

On Tuesday, Opscura, an industrial control systems cybersecurity company, was launched with $9.4 million in Series A funding. Although the company is new, the team behind it is not. Opscura was founded in Spain as Enigmedia and has been around for more than a decade. Gerard Vidal and Carlos Tomás, the co-founders of Enigmedia, will serve as CTO and VP of engineering at Opscura, respectively. David Hatchell has been appointed as the CEO of Opscura. The funding round, which was led by Anzu Partners with participation from Dreamit and Mundi Ventures, will be used to expand the company's reach in the United States. Opscura provides solutions to protect industrial networks by isolating, cloaking and authenticating sensitive assets and data in operational technology networks. Its cloaking technology is designed to obscure deep OT Level 2 network and Layer 2 data without disrupting operations. The company's solutions are meant to give organizations deep OT visibility, access control capabilities between IT and OT networks, protection for critical legacy endpoints, and help reduce the OT attack surface. Opscura's solutions are meant to supplement the offerings of companies such as Nozomi Networks, Claroty and Fortinet. The ICS security firm has customers in the transportation, renewable energy, government, manufacturing and chemical sectors.
