Addressing the gap with a holistic, multi-layered solution that is also cost-efficient is how cyber security startup Horangi wound up with an investment from Monk's Hill, which led a US$3.1 million Series A round in 2017 with participation from 500 Startups and Australia venture firm Right Click Capital. Since then, Horangi has expanded to seven offices globally.
