Network security company Rohati Systems has raised a $12 million second round of financing from existing investors Foundation Capital and Matrix Partners, bringing its total funding to $22.6 million.
The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based startup plans to release the first product in its Rohati Transaction Networking System platform by the end of this month. Chief executive Shane Buckley says Rohati will make it easier for companies to control access within their networks. Once a company has allowed someone behind the firewall, it can be hard to limit or control the user's access. Rohati's products will enable this control, will reside in the network data center, won't require any change of application or agents and will be cheaper and faster to deploy, Buckley says.
Rohati was founded by five executives who left Cisco to form the new company.
