AUSTIN, Texas-(WIRE OF BUSINESS)-Rumble, a global leader in network discovery and asset inventory, today announced a new round of Series A funding of $ 15 million. This round of funding, led by Decibel with participation from new and current investors, will help Rumble accelerate their market -going and engineering initiatives.
“Although network detection and asset inventory is a critical requirement for many IT and security programs, most organizations still do not have complete visibility into the networks they use, especially every device and software. applications connected to them, ”said Jon Sakoda, Founding Partner at Decibel. “Rumble solves that problem, and they’re seeing a tremendous response from their customers who are finally getting the visibility they need to secure and protect their cloud and on-prem environment. We look forward to continuing the partnership with Rumble as they grow their team and invest in their technology. ”
Along with Decibel, participation from several new and existing investors includes Andrew Peterson (Founder and CEO of Signal Sciences), Ash Devata (former Chief Product Officer of Duo Security), Chenxi Wang (Managing General Partner at Rain Capital) , Chris Nickerson (Founder of LARES), Christian Kanja (Founder and CEO at glueckkanja-gab), David Eckstein (CFO of Menlo Security), David Schneider (former President of ServiceNow), Felix Storm (Partner and Technology Lead at glueckkanja-gab ), Gordon Lyon (Founder of Nmap and Npcap), Jack Naglieri (Founder and CEO of Panther Labs), Jim Cyb (former CRO of Duo Security), Jon Oberheide (Co-Founder of Duo Security), Michael Sutton (Founder of StoneMill Ventures), Nir Polak (Co-Founder and Executive Chairman Exabeam), Oliver Friedrichs (former CEO and Founder of Phantom Cyber), Paul DiMarzo (former CFO of Duo Security), Rishi Bhargava (Co-Founder of Demisto), and Slavik Markovich (Co-Founder of Demisto).
Since seed funding, Rumble has experienced exponential growth. In 2021, Rumble grew its user base by 3x, customer base by 4x, and ARR by 5x. The massive growth is a result of the company’s ability to partner with customers to deliver the capabilities they need to address coverage gaps and security risks in their environment. Closing the year, Rumble booked a historic deal for 1 million assets, the largest booking for the company at the time. To continue the momentum, Rumble intends to use the funds to increase hiring in their go-to-market and engineering functions.
“Our mission is to make network discovery and asset inventory as easy as possible for organizations and teams of all sizes. Feedback from our customers reaffirms that there is a real pain we are solving. for them, especially on unmanaged assets, ”said Chris Kirsch, CEO and Co-Founder of Rumble. “Customers often tell us how Rumble helped them handle all of their assets and how easy it was for them to do so. The next round of funding will help us accelerate our reach. more organizations and help them with their asset inventory. ”
For many customers, the process of launching a CMDB highlights gaps in their detection capabilities. With Rumble, customers quickly overcome those challenges, by searching across all assets, including unmanaged devices, wherever they are. Having centralized inventory makes it easy for IT and security teams to get answers about any asset and any network in their environment.
To ensure that small businesses, home users, and consultants have access to network discovery and asset inventory, Rumble offers a free Starter Edition for networks with less than 256 assets. Today, over 11,000 users have Rumble Starter Edition.
Rumble continues to deliver the best network and asset visibility in all environments
Coinciding with an exploding year of customer growth, Rumble has successfully delivered an ambitious product roadmap. Since Rumble 2.0 was released in March 2021, Rumble has expanded its scanning, fingerprinting, reporting, and integration capabilities.
“Most IT and security teams still have difficulty creating a useful inventory from their current security tools. This data is often incomplete and unreliable because these tools tend to focus on risk and not on asset identification, ”said HD Moore, CTO and Co-Founder of Rumble.“ Our focus is in building an amazing network discovery and asset inventory platform that provides high-quality data through an intuitive user interface. ”Moore, former CEO of Rumble, became CTO in 2021 to focus on building product and fingerprinting research.Chris Kirsch, former CRO, has moved into the role of CEO.
The funding announcement comes after several recent achievements, including the following highlights:
- Find all internal subnets, fast – The RFC1918 Coverage Report identifies all private IP space used by their organization, whether it is documented or not. The report describes the entire RFC1918 address space, identifying subnets that have been scanned, subnets that are likely to contain assets, and subnets that are still unknown. Using this information, teams can discover blind spots on their network map, look for rogue devices, and identify incorrect configurations.
- Discover IPv6 blind spots – IPv6 is active on almost all internal networks, but is rarely detected, monitored, or managed by current tools. Rumble treats IPv6 detection, including link-local addresses, as a key feature; defining IPv6 assets and services in most environments without any additional configuration.
- Unparalleled fingerprinting – Rumble’s modern network scanning engine is research -powered, allowing the platform to identify machines with wireless adapters and endpoint agents, over the network, without authentication. This applied research approach has helped customers identify and categorize thousands of different devices and vary between identical OS and firmware versions.
- MDM, EDR, and cloud provider integrations – Rumble bridges the gap for IT and security teams that need better asset data quality for their current tools. Customers can enrich their asset inventory through integrations with MDM, EDR, and cloud providers. Teams can also feed Rumble data to CMDBs and SIEMs using Rumble export APIs or out-of-the-box integrations.
- Identify network outliers -Most security teams handle common workstation and server issues, but are concerned about everything else: one-offs, unmanaged devices, and other unknowns in their environment. Rumble automatically shows outliers: in the dashboard, in inventory, at the asset and attribute level, and through comprehensive reports. With this visibility, teams can quickly identify incorrect configurations and rogue devices.
- Monitor network paths to verify network segmentation – Proper network isolation is critical in modern environments, but easy to make mistakes and difficult to test. Rumble’s Asset Route Pathing Report shows potential network paths between source and destination assets, using both layer 3 routes and the unauthenticated secondary detection of Rumble’s interface. This report highlights potential network segmentation issues and opportunities for an attacker to move sideways into segments. Teams can use this report to find systems that may not have critical controls or need to be solidified.
- Self-host Rumble – The self-hosted option gives Rumble Enterprise customers complete control over their inventory data. For customers running Rumble in air-gapped environments, the offline mode ensures that Rumble does not make any internet connection, with full support for offline updates.
