## About

Based in Florida, US, and founded in 2015 by its CEO, Alex Santos, and Executive Chairman, Peter Kassabov, Fortress Information Security LLC, operates as an information technology company that discovers, prioritizes, and monitors supply chain cyber risk. In April 2022, Fortress Information Security LLC raised USD 125 million in series C funding led by new investor Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division, with participation from returning investors American Electric Power, Caron Capital, ClearSky, and many others. As of 2022, the company has managed data on over 40,000 vendors.

The company offers an end-to-end platform for detecting, managing, and resolving cybersecurity and operational threats posed by vendors, assets, and software in their supply chains. The company provides product security services that include product security assessments, data-driven product assessments, file integrity assurance, product provenance, cyber supply chain threat intelligence, and vulnerability management. It also offers an orchestration platform, a visualization platform, and a secure library for the delivery of third-party risk data.

The company plans to use the April 2022 funding to support its mission to protect critical US industries from cybersecurity and operational threats from the supply chain.
