The investment in Oomnitza is the eighth from C5’s Cyber Partners II fund, which invests in companies supporting the secure data ecosystem, including cybersecurity, applied data analytics, and cloud infrastructure. The fund already has had two notable exits: Shape Security, acquired by F5 Networks; and IronNet Cybersecurity, which is being acquired in a SPAC merger with LGL Systems Acquisition Corp. The investment in Oomnitza aligns with C5 Capital’s strategy of investing in high-growth organizations where C5 can apply its expertise, network, and international experience in data security to help its portfolio companies expand.
“Oomnitza takes a unique approach to IT asset management by giving companies a one-stop-shop for lifecycle management across hardware, software, network, cloud environments that forms the basis of good cybersecurity,” said Kilmer. “We believe that enterprise technology management is poised to become a multi-billion-dollar market. Oomnitza is clearly the standout market leader with an A-list of more than 150 customers, including major digital disruptors in nearly every sector.”
