Coalition Inc., a San Francisco-based cyber insurance provider, has raised $10 million in Series A funding from Ribbit Capital, Valor Equity Partners, Vy Capital and other investors, the company confirmed today.
With the Series A funding, Coalition will expand its engineering team and bolster its cyber risk management platform, co-founder Joshua Motta stated.
The Coalition cyber risk management platform offers threat and intelligence alerts, ransomware and denial of service protection, patch and vulnerability management and other cybersecurity capabilities. In addition, the platform provides these capabilities to end users "without any complex setup or configuration," according to Coalition.

Key features of the Coalition cyber risk management platform include:
- Credential Monitor: Alerts an organization if an employee's password or identifying information is stolen.
- DDoS Mitigation: Provides an always-on distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) mitigation service that can be set up in just minutes.
- HackerOne Response: Enables an organization to create a vulnerability disclosure program on the HackerOne bug bounty platform and receive and respond to vulnerabilities discovered by ethical hackers.
- Patch Manager: Scans an organization's internet-facing infrastructure for out-of-date software and vulnerabilities and enables end users to configure alerts and work with Coalition's security team to protect their organizations against cyberattacks.
