Pwine Express, the maker of Pulse IoT security platform that identifies rouge devices and networks across connected devices raised $8M in new funding from existing investors .406 Ventures, Ascent Venture Partners and Fairhaven Capital.
The new funding comes with the change in leadership in the form of Todd DeSisto as the company’s new CEO. Desisto is an ex-CEO of Axeda, an IoT company acquired by PTC (Nasdaq: PTC) for $170M.
The company’s core solutions include network asset discovery, wireless network security, Bluetooth security and rouge device and network detection. The company also sells penetration testing devices (called pentesting devices) to detect/assess on-site network/device security.
The new CEO will help the company by rolling out the new channel partner programs (aimed towards managed security service providers MSSPs). The funding proceeds will also help launch new IoT security products.
