Kivera

Kivera's platform serves organizations of all sizes, enabling them to enforce security policies and maintain compliance across major cloud service providers, including Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure. It addresses the common issue of cloud security breaches resulting from customer misconfigurations by enforcing uniform and granular policy controls. Key features include preventing data exfiltration by restricting access, ensuring compliance, and providing granular visibility into all cloud interactions. This approach allows clients to innovate quickly while maintaining a robust security posture. The company's technology is adaptable to any deployment tool, giving development teams the freedom to use their preferred tools without compromising security.

In August 2023, Kivera announced a significant milestone, securing $3.5 million in a seed funding round led by General Advance and Round 13 Capital, with participation from several angel investors from prominent tech and finance companies. This funding facilitated the company's expansion into the North American market, including relocating its headquarters to New York City and appointing Joe Lea as CEO. In a strategic move to enhance its cloud security offerings, Cloudflare acquired Kivera on October 8, 2024. This acquisition integrates Kivera's preventive controls into the Cloudflare One platform, aiming to provide a more centralized and proactive security solution for managing multi-cloud environments.
