« We are glad to welcome Citalid in our portfolio. The cybersecurity startup offers the 1st cyber risk assessment platform identifying threats that are most likely to target operations, quantifying the financial loss evaluation and prioritizing the most relevant cost-efficient defensive measures to apply.
Citalid, like Alsid, was co-founded by two leading experts from the ANSSI’S (French Cyberdefence Authority). We wish Citalid to follow the same path as Alsid, which raised 13M€ last month, after being backed by Axeleo Capital (from the early days) and accelerated by Axeleo.»
