Ex Israeli Army Cyber Boss Raises $75 Million for Cloud Security

Sweet Security, a Tel Aviv-based startup founded by the Israeli army’s former chief information security officer, has raised $75 million in new funding.

Sweet Security was founded by Dror Kashti, a two-star general who oversaw the Israel Defense Forces’ migration to the cloud under Project Nimbus, the cloud-computing contract with Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Amazon.com Inc.’s AWS that drew protests within the companies.
