    Security operations firm Arctic Wolf is moving its headquarters to Eden Prairie

    Arctic Wolf raises $200M in Series E Funding at a valuation of $1.3 Billion

    EDEN PRAIRIE, MN – October 22, 2020 – Arctic Wolf®, the leader in security operations, today announced it has raised $200 million in Series E funding at a valuation of $1.3 billion.

    Alongside the new round of funding, Arctic Wolf is relocating its global headquarters from Sunnyvale, California to Eden Prairie.

    Over the last four years, Arctic Wolf’s Eden Prairie office has been at the center of the company’s corporate growth strategy, with the team growing to over 200 employees.

    In the months prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic the company significantly expanded its Eden Prairie office’s footprint in anticipation of further growth, said Arctic Wolf, Head of Communications, Dan Deeth, “We’re here for the long haul.”

    “The Minneapolis area has a rich and growing history of world-class technology companies, said Nick Schneider, Chief Revenue Officer, Arctic Wolf, “that combined with access to a highly-skilled workforce, central location, and a favorable business environment, make it the ideal place for Arctic Wolf to call home.”

    Using the Series E funding, Arctic Wolf plans to make significant investments in its new Eden Prairie headquarters by the end of 2021 with the addition over 150 new jobs and the construction of the company’s third security operations center (SOC).

    “We’re laying down a foundation and building the business in Eden Prairie,” noted Deeth, “The pool of talent and quality of life in Eden Prairie” support the company’s growth plans.

    “We are excited to begin the next phase of our Arctic Wolf’s growth from our headquarters in Minnesota and look forward to broadening our role within the community,” said Schneider.

    Eden Prairie Mayor Ron Case welcomed the Arctic Wolf announcement “We are thrilled that Arctic Wolf has selected our city to be its new headquarters and cannot wait to see what the future holds for them.”

    Arctic Wolf funding hits $1 billion “unicorn” mark

    This latest round of funding makes Arctic Wolf the first and only cloud-native MDR vendor to secure a valuation of over $1 billion.

    The funding round was led by Viking Global Investors, with additional participation from DTCP and existing investors.

    This new round of funding will enable Arctic Wolf to accelerate the introduction of new security operations offerings, address new markets, and further cement its leadership position in the security operations and managed detection and response (MDR) markets.

    Concierge Security Operations Service
    Using the cloud-native Arctic Wolf Platform, Arctic Wolf provides security operations as a concierge service. Arctic Wolf Concierge Security® experts act as an extension of an organization’s internal team, providing tailored threat detection and response, as well as ongoing risk management to keep their valuable business data safe.

    By pairing the intelligence of a cloud-native platform with the expert insight of security operations experts, Arctic Wolf helps organizations end cyber risk.

    “Every year, businesses continue to make significant new investments in cybersecurity tools, yet we still see breaches in the headlines. The rapid growth of Arctic Wolf is being driven by organizations realizing that they don’t have a tools problem, but an operational one, and that they can’t solve their security operations challenges on their own,” said Brian NeSmith, CEO
    and Co-Founder, Arctic Wolf. “Whether a small business or a large enterprise, the Arctic Wolf Platform is built to meet their cybersecurity needs, and this new round of funding will allow us to rapidly scale our business so that we can keep even more organizations safe from
    cyberattacks.”

    Arctic Wolf’s primary security operations offering is Arctic Wolf Managed Detection and Response, a solution that enables organizations to detect, respond, and recover from advanced cyber threats.

    Gartner forecasts that “By 2025, 50% of organizations will be using MDR services for threat monitoring, detection and response functions that offer threat containment capabilities.” 1

    Arctic Wolf’s recent corporate milestones and year-over-year performance metrics include:
     106% growth in subscription revenue
     180% growth in the number of customers in the enterprise segment
     301% growth in the number of customers using multiple solutions
     282% growth in the number of channel partners, driven by the company’s transition to a
    100% channel sales model
     270% growth in the number of security events (now approaching 1 trillion per week) processed by the Arctic Wolf Platform
