Snapshot of Plerion
A fresh take on cloud security
Simplifying risk for a safer digital world
Plerion is an Australian cybersecurity startup helping organisations focus on what really matters in the cloud. Founded by the team behind Cloud Conformity (acquired by Trend Micro), the company is building an intelligent platform that cuts through complexity and enables security teams to act faster and more effectively.
At its core, Plerion exists to reduce noise, automate where possible, and give security and DevOps teams real-time visibility into genuine risks – not just best-practice alerts.
With a team of world-class engineers and product thinkers, the company is now growing fast off the back of a $10 million seed round led by Prosus Ventures, with backing from Cercano and Atlassian Ventures.
