Japan&#8217;s <a style="color: #000080;" href="http://dealstreetasia.com/tag/softbank" target="_blank">Softbank Corp</a>, a subsidiary of Tokyo-listed SoftBank Group Corp., has led a $16.5 million series C investment in <a style="color: #000080;" href="https://dome9.com/" target="_blank">Dome9 Security</a>, a cloud infrastructure security provider. 
Existing investors also participated in this round, taking total equity funding in Dome9 to $29 million. 
As per the terms of the agreement, SoftBank will be the lead distributor of the Dome9 Arc cloud infrastructure security platform in the Japanese market, enabling organisations running workloads in cloud environments to efficiently manage security, compliance and governance.
“Dome9 has seen phenomenal growth over the past few years, fueled by strong traction in the enterprise market with customers such as Pacific Life and Proofpoint,” said Zohar Alon, CEO and Co-founder of Dome9 Security. 
“Businesses are realising that securing cloud environments requires a fundamentally different approach from data center security. This funding round will allow us to capitalise on the business momentum by investing in R&amp;D as well as sales and marketing. Partnering with a visionary technology leader such as SoftBank allows us to tap into global demand for better cloud security,&#8221; Alon added.
The Dome9 Arc SaaS platform allows customers to simplify security operations and speed up compliance in their public and multi-cloud environments. According to the company, Dome9 Arc offers native, API-enabled integration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and the Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
It also claims that with its agent-based approach, it extends the Dome9 platform to other public clouds and on-premises cloud deployments.
Masayuki Motoshima, Director of Cyber Security Business Development at SoftBank Corp, said, “As enterprise adoption of the cloud continues to accelerate, there is a growing need for cloud-native solutions that simplify security operations and compliance.&#8221;
&#8220;Dome9’s strong traction in the enterprise market attests to the value the technology delivers and led to our decision to invest. Dome9 gives enterprise customers the confidence that their workloads are secure in the cloud. I’m confident that together SoftBank and Dome9 will help Japanese organizations maximise the benefit they get from migrating to the cloud,” he added.
