San Jose-based WiteSand, a startup that brings enterprise networks to the cloud announced its launch while coming out of stealth with few major customers. It also raised USD 12.5 Million in a seed funding round from angel investors and institutions on 28th June 2021.
About WiteSand –
WiteSand was founded in 2017, the startup offers enterprise network managers a unified portal in the cloud leveraging the latest advances in AI/ML to provision, monitor, analyze, and secure access to their global networks. Any switch and any access point from any vendor. Any employee, any guest, and any IoT device, anywhere.
“Cloud is the new network operating system,” said Praveen Jain, CEO of WiteSand. “This is the place to consolidate all your on-prem enterprise networking appliances and software interfaces. This is the place to do boundless analytics. This is the place to enforce zero-trust policies in the network. And, this is the single place to manage your worldwide locations.”
WiteSand has developed the first-ever cloud-native, multi-tenet solution that offers asset discovery, wired and wireless providing, NAC, flow analytics, and monitoring. The offering can span across global networks reaching places like factories, campuses, logistics centers, remote offices, and much more. By using WiteSand all the necessary functionality that was contained in different tools are now in one place, in a single cloud-based interface. The access points and physical switches remain on-premise.
WiteSand consists of the industry’s first Network Time Machine, an attribute intended to reveal a complete history of changes and events in a network at any point in time. WiteSand has achieved this by integrating the power of the cloud with global visibility, analytics, correlation, and recent advancements.
“As we start to move back into the office and COVID starts to subside throughout our regional offices in the coming quarters, we can’t be sure they’ve followed security best practices at home and haven’t been exposed to potential threats,” said Hersh Mahavni, Planful’s Vice President of TechOps & Trust. “Because of those potentially insecure devices, we could be walking into the Wild West of all sorts of exploits, so we need something like WiteSand to help us contain and isolate any threats in an automated fashion.”
“Two of the markets in which WiteSand participates are large and growing,” said Chris DePuy, Technology Analyst and Founder of 650 Group. “In our June 7th Enhanced Network Access Control report, we forecasted that the NAC market will reach $1.1B in 2025. Additionally, in the fourth quarter 2020, Cloud-Managed Services associated with both Campus Switching and Enterprise WLAN grew nearly 30% Y/Y.”
