"As investors in several leading cloud technology providers, we were impressed by Aqua and its track record as a security leader in this hyper-growth space," said Jeff Horing, co-founder and managing director at Insight Partners. "Aqua's vision, their unrivaled investment in open source technologies, and deep relationships with strategic partners have created a tremendous opportunity as customers accelerate their move to cloud native platforms. We look forward to Aqua joining the Insight portfolio and seeing their continued growth."

Dror Davidoff, CEO and co-founder of Aqua, said: "The adoption of cloud native technologies provides an opportunity for security to be redefined, addressing the chronic cybersecurity skills shortage through automation, and creating applications that are secure by design. With this significant investment and our focus on the needs of enterprise customers and product innovation, we can take the next step to realize our vision."
