The TalonWork browser simplifies endpoint security by serving as a secure access point to corporate applications and data on any device, managed or unmanaged, and on any operating system.
"We have built the team and technology to redefine and power security for the future of work – a future where security is delivered naturally through the enterprise's most heavily used application: the browser," said Ofer Ben-Noon, co-founder and CEO, Talon Cyber Security. "The world and the applications the Global 2000 rely on are moving to the web, creating a dire need for a vehicle that can provide secure access without changing the way work is conducted. This new funding will allow us to continue to show why that vehicle is Talon's secure enterprise browser."
Co-founded by Ben-Noon and CTO Ohad Bobrov, Talon was named the winner of the Innovation Sandbox Contest at RSA Conference 2022 and has demonstrated unrivaled market and technical leadership since launching the industry's first secure enterprise browser in October 2021. The company's recent momentum includes numerous customer deployments at large organizations, the launch of the industry's first secure enterprise browser for mobile devices, and established partnerships with the two leaders in endpoint security, CrowdStrike and Microsoft.
The round includes the conversion of $17 million in SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) investments announced in January into A round shares, bringing Talon's total amount raised to over $126 million.
The funds will be used to accelerate go-to-market efforts to meet the increasing global demand for Talon's secure enterprise browser, TalonWork, and deliver new product enhancements to continuously improve security for modern workforces.
