Lightspeed leads Zluri’s $20M funding round as SaaS management platform takes off

Zluri

Large companies are typically using over 1100 SaaS applications to run their operations and the number of companies adopting this trend is rapidly growing 20% every year but this presents a number of risks. Helping them manage their SaaS estates and mitigate risks, SaaS operations(SaaSOps) platform Zluri is today announcing a $20M funding round. The Series B funding round was led by Lightspeed, with participation from existing investors including MassMutual Ventures, Endiya Partners and Kalaari Capital. The company has now raised $32m in total venture funding since 2020. The rapid expansion of SaaS products in large companies poses significant challenges for IT and security teams, making it increasingly difficult to manage and orchestrate SaaS operations. Alongside this, the unstoppable wave of enterprise digital transformation, led by generative AI, swift cloud adoption, and the rise of distributed remote workforces, is ushering in a new era of complexity in SaaS operations. “The Enterprise SaaS consumption trends have led to under utilized licenses, compromised security, ineffective governance and overall suboptimal management of SaaS stacks for IT and Security Teams,” commented Ritish Reddy, Co-Founder of Zluri. “We have fearlessly been building Zluri to scale for the needs of our community and have added a range of features to protect these companies and help them grow. Having launched and scaled our discovery engine in 2020 to help companies understand their SaaS stacks better, we have since launched an identity governance tool to manage access and now are launching the Zluri co-pilot to help enable faster workflows.” Zluri’s comprehensive SaaSOps platform for IT teams helps companies discover, manage and optimize, secure and automate SaaS applications from a single dashboard. In addition to this, the Identity Governance tool will help teams streamline on/off boarding, access request management and offer access audits. The new Zluri CoPilot feature will help teams converse with their data and create workflows i.e making offboarding users much more efficient. Zluri works with over 250 customers globally which include prominent names such as Monday.com, Tipalti, Whoop, Catapult Sports, Razorpay, Smartnews, Amagi, Daxko, Traveloka etc. With the new funding round, Zluri will expand Generative AI capabilities in enterprise SaaSOps with Zluri’s CoPilot - an intelligent assistant to boost efficiency and productivity across enterprises using no-code workflows. Zluri has built a custom large language (LLM) model trained on billions of data points encompassing a wide range of attributes. Zluri's expansion plans include continuing to scale go-to-market teams in North America and Europe to reinforce their presence in strategic markets, and fostering closer collaboration with customers. By establishing a stronger global footprint, Zluri aims to provide exceptional support to its growing customer base while actively seeking opportunities to forge new partnerships and drive innovation in the realm of SaaS management and Identity governance. “We are excited to partner with the Zluri team as they revolutionize SaaS management and identity governance for large enterprises and mid-market firms in the US and globally. They have demonstrated strong market traction, driven by an innovative architecture addressing the twin drivers of cybersecurity and pressure on IT to reduce cost." Dev Khare, Partner, Lightspeed Since their Series A in January 2022, Zluri has doubled the overall team size, made deep in-roads in the US market including setting up an office in California and launched new products expanding their offerings from a single product to multi-product for both enterprises and mid-market companies. “ARC is a group of 16 unique companies with varying tech stacks. Zluri has enabled us to understand usage and uncover shadow IT so that we can understand which tools are being used per capability. They have also helped us cross reference our spends against usage which helps us determine which SaaS apps are giving the most business value. We are currently in the process of connecting our HR system to allow for automatic provisioning/deprovisioning of SaaS apps and licenses. It has been a great tool for us and we look forward to a long partnership working together" Kyle Hitchcock - Head of IT, ARC Group Zluri puts the IT team back in control of their new SaaS-ified landscape.

Artificial Intelligence In Healthcare: A Potentially Strong Opportunity For BioSig Technologies (NASDAQ: BSGM)?

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga BioSig Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BSGM) announced a new collaboration agreement in June with Reified Labs, a technical advisory service specializing in advanced artificial intelligence (AI). Together, BioSig and Reified will research and develop an AI medical device platform with the potential to transform the way doctors treat a range of common health problems from heart arrhythmias to peripheral nerve disorders like Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or nerve damage. An AI Medical Device Platform Built On Cutting Edge Research Reified Labs is headed by Dr. Alexander D. Wissner-Gross, one of the advisory firm’s founders and a Harvard- and MIT-trained computer scientist, physicist, investor and entrepreneur. Dr. Wissner-Gross has spent decades researching AI, machine learning, and its applications in healthcare. Through Reified Labs, he and his team of scientists and engineers have collaborated with dozens of biotechs and medtechs to develop cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment tools for healthcare providers. In a statement on the collaboration, Dr. Wissner-Gross said that the potential applications of AI and digital signal processing “continues to present a promising opportunity for realizing key medical advances relating to disorders of the peripheral nervous system.” Past collaborations with Reified have already been fruitful for BioSig, resulting in published research on AI-enhanced ECG mapping and multiple patent applications. In fact, back in September of 2020, an abstract titled Computational Reconstruction of Electrocardiogram Lead Placement, co-authored by Dr. Alexander D. Wissner-Gross of Reified LLC and Dr. Suraj Kapa of the Mayo Clinic, et al., was published illustrating that the transformative potential of artificial intelligence and machine learning in healthcare is vast. To develop the platform, the companies will train the AI platform using electrocardiogram (ECG) ad intra-cardiac electrogram (IECG) data from BioSig’s patented PURE EP platform, which has already been used in over 3,000 procedures and featured in peer-reviewed clinical research. PURE EP is a breakthrough technology that captures cardiac signals while eliminating environmental noise for clearer, sharper data, even for the subtler or more complex signals that are easy to miss with conventional ECG and iECG tech. This has potentially helped make cardiac ablations — a procedure used to treat irregular heartbeats — faster and more precise. It’s provided similar benefits to other procedures as well as become a helpful tool in leading labs, including Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute and Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute. By training the AI on this precision signaling data along with additional healthcare datasets, the team hopes to develop more advanced electrophysiology tech for healthcare providers. Once trained, the AI could help with real-time data analysis and improve every stage of the clinical workflow. The resulting tech could then be integrated into PURE EP to add even more functionality to the platform. This post contains sponsored content.

Consumer Discretionary XLY Takes Spending to Higher Levels

Select Sector SPDR

The United States is home to one of the largest consumer markets in the world, which is well known. However, understanding the different categories of where and why consumers are spending and how to capture that in an investment is key for advisors and investors when considering how to utilize retail into a diversified portfolio. The Consumer Discretionary Fund ( XLY ) offers the opportunity to capture a segment of the retail market, focusing on what might be considered the higher end, including services beyond goods, concert tickets, and vacations. Another way to think of it is buying goods and services using disposable income. XLY is a portfolio of U.S. large-cap consumer discretionary stocks. XLY's basket of stocks represents the sector well when looking at the names. The fund has 53 holdings in total. The top holding at 22.97% is the juggernaut retailer Amazon, followed by Tesla (19.41%), Home Depot (4.44%), McDonald’s (4.43%) and Nike (4.25%)*. The other names in the top 10 are Lowe’s, Starbucks, Booking Holdings, TJX, and Ford. Higher End vs Low-Cost Retail The theme is a contrast to consumer spending on goods such as food, soap, toothpaste, and tobacco products, or low-cost goods that are typically used on a daily basis. But with low-cost goods also comes low profit margins, and it is important for investors to understand that as well. Because Tesla and Nike sell high-priced goods, the opportunity for higher profit margins looms, particularly in an economy when spending is much more liberal than in a down economy. Even in a down economy, Nike has been established as a staple in culture and fashion, and sales are consistent through good and bad economies alike. The Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR fund, XLY, offers a way to tap in the broad high-end retail market in an easy and inexpensive manner. The fund has attracted over $17 billion in assets under management since its inception in 1998. XLY has proven tradability and has stood the test of time as far as ETFs go. The fund also comes with an investor-friendly expense ratio of 0.10%**. Spending on apparel, electronics, travel, dining out, vacations, video games, toys, and entertainment are considered discretionary. And using a broad market index approach to this retail sector allows investors to play the field rather than trying to pick a winner in the high-end retail market. XLY opens the door for investors to this opportunity. DISCLAIMER: This is a work of research and should not be taken as investment or financial advice.

NowSecure Announces New Mobile SDK Pen Testing Service to Protect the Mobile Supply Chain

NowSecure

NowSecure, the recognized experts in mobile security and privacy, today launched a major expansion of the NowSecure Pen Testing as a Service (PTaaS) with a new SDK Pen Testing Service to help protect the global mobile software supply chain. Leveraging over a decade of penetration testing experience for more than 11,000 mobile apps and recognized industry security standards, this new NowSecure Service provides deep-dive testing of first-party and third-party mobile SDKs built and used by open-source teams, commercial SDK vendors and enterprise mobile app developers. Mobile app developers rely on third-party SDKs to speed delivery of their mobile apps with rich functionality and dependable infrastructure. The typical mobile app uses 8-15 mobile SDKs from commercial vendors and the open-source community. Overall, analysis shows over 30,000 mobile SDKs in use around the world including authentication, location data, ads and monetization, push notifications and messaging, crash analytics, image processing and more. However, NowSecure Pen Testing Services findings reveal that more than 50% of apps fail at least one critical standards-based control due to the mobile SDKs they integrate. Recent malicious SDKs and supply-chain attacks like Pushwoosh, Tushu/Twhoshu and Mintegral put mobile development teams and mobile users at risk. To help developers, security and privacy teams ensure the safety of their mobile SDKs, NowSecure SDK Pen Testing Service provides visibility into security, privacy and compliance risks of mobile SDKs. “The current late-stage process of identifying issues with mobile SDKs after they have been built into a mobile app makes it very difficult for development, security and privacy teams to respond without damaging the business,” said NowSecure CEO Alan Snyder. “Today we are empowering mobile development teams to choose wisely before they include an SDK in their mobile app, so they can build, ship and upload to app stores faster with confidence that their mobile app is safe for use and meets industry requirements.” NowSecure SDK Pen Testing Service helps protect the software supply chain across the entire mobile app ecosystem and developer community. Developers who use commercial and open-source mobile SDKs can secure their mobile apps against SDK supply-chain attacks, protect from SDK data leakage, and ensure compliance with industry mandates and regulatory requirements. The service includes a comprehensive report and expert consultation. Manufacturers of commercial SDKs can drive user trust and grow downloads by providing independent verification that they meet the high bar of standards-based security and privacy, while enabling their end customers to comply with industry mandates and regulatory requirements. The service includes a comprehensive report and NowSecure Letter of Attestation that can be used to demonstrate the rigorous security and privacy testing performed by NowSecure. NowSecure Pen Testing as a Service methodology uses recognized industry standards from the OWASP Mobile App Security (MAS) project and Google’s App Defense Alliance (ADA) Mobile Application Security Assessment (MASA) program. NowSecure PTaaS combines continuous automated security testing and expert pen testing to deliver the frequency, depth and coverage to meet the needs of all organizations. This new NowSecure SDK Pen Testing Service joins the industry’s most complete suite of mobile-specific pen testing assessment services including Rapid, Targeted, Full Scope, OWASP MASVS and ADA MASA. In addition, the NowSecure SDK Pen Testing Service enables mobile app developers to meet the latest app store attestation requirements for the Apple Privacy Nutrition Labels for iOS apps and the Google Google Play Data Safety section for android apps. Showcasing their dedication to privacy and transparency into how user data is handled and processed, Apple and Google have made developers responsible for attesting to how mobile user data is collected, used and transmitted for first-party, third-party and open source code. Mobile app developers who do not properly account for SDKs, their data handling practices, and the vulnerabilities they may introduce can result in costly release delays and app store rejections. The new NowSecure SDK Pen Testing Service is available to assess individual or multiple commercially developed, open source or internally developed mobile SDKs. In addition, organizations can request a NowSecure Mobile App Supply Chain Risk Assessment for expert review of a single mobile app with identification of all third party SDKs in the app, a security and privacy analysis of these third party SDKs, and a comprehensive report plus expert consultation. The NowSecure SDK Pen Testing Service joins the industry’s only full suite of mobile app security and privacy solutions from NowSecure including NowSecure Platform for automated security and privacy testing, NowSecure Workstation kit for pen tester productivity, NowSecure Supply Chain Risk Management, NowSecure expert Mobile Pen Testing as a Service (PTaaS), and NowSecure Academy training courseware for dev and security teams.
