As the traditional internet makes room for the Internet of Things, there’s one cybersecurity company that’s been steadily growing since the days of dial-up.

Keyfactor, a Cleveland-based information security company formerly known as Certified Security Solutions, has announced a $77 million growth funding from Insight Venture Partners. The company previously raised $3.5 million in September 2018, per the PitchBook Platform.

Founded in 2001, Keyfactor had received prior backing from Plymouth Growth Partners and Generation Ventures.

When asked about the company’s highest priorities for growth, CEO and co-founder Kevin von Keyserling told PitchBook that global expansion leads the list.
