Talking about his investment Govind Rajan one of the angel investors said, "Lucideus has shown a consistent top line growth while continuing to innovate itself in the cyber security industry. At a time when both the government and the private sector are adapting digital, their cyber risk is increasing exponentially with linear addition to their technology stack. Considering all the ground work done by Lucideus for the last 5 years, I feel they are well positioned to grab the market opportunity and emerge as clear market leaders."

Saket Modi, further highlights, “With an access to the office of the CTO, CIO and CISO of over a 100 customers across the globe, a year back we realized a pressing need that was not being answered by any of the existing products in the cybersecurity space. To address the same we will be launching a cyber risk management platform very soon. The funding raised is largely being used for the research & development of this platform.”
