RedLock was a pioneering cloud security startup founded in 2015 that specialized in providing continuous visibility, compliance monitoring, and threat detection across multi-cloud environments. The company developed a cloud-native security platform enabling enterprises to secure their hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures with real-time insights into security risks, misconfigurations, and compliance violations. RedLock's technology integrated with major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, helping organizations achieve better governance and threat response in complex cloud ecosystems. The platform was particularly valued for its ability to detect anomalies and potential breaches without requiring agents on cloud resources, making it a key player in the emerging field of cloud security posture management (CSPM). The company quickly gained traction, raising over $30 million in venture capital from investors including Greylock Partners, IVP, and Nexus Venture Partners. In September 2018, RedLock was acquired by Palo Alto Networks for an undisclosed amount estimated at $100-200 million, with its technology integrated into Palo Alto's Prisma Cloud platform, where it operated as part of the broader cybersecurity firm's cloud security offerings.
