Sphere, a Hoboken, N.J.-based cybersecurity business focused on providing software and services for access governance across data, platforms and applications, raised $10m in series A funding.
The round was led by ForgePoint Capital with participation from security leaders including Omkhar Arasaratnam (former Executive Director, Head of Data Protection Technology at JPMorgan Chase); Joel Caminer (former Global Head of Technology Risk Management and Information Security at TD Securities); Adnane Charchour (former President & CEO at Scivantage) and Sounil Yu (former Chief Security Scientist at Bank of America).
