Ottawa-based data management company Pythian announced Tuesday it has landed $6 million in new investment capital.
The funding will help expand the market reach of the firm’s cloud-based data security software, Adminiscope, the company said in a statement. Investors include the Business Development Bank of Canada and the Royal Bank of Canada.
“It’s clear there’s an appetite out in the marketplace for greater data security measures among all organizations, especially retailers who have to protect sensitive customer financial information,” said Paul Vallée, Pythian founder and executive chairman, in the statement.
