<ul><li>Laminar, a cloud-native data security startup, has secured a USD 30 million extension to its Series A funding round from Tiger Global Management and Salesforce Ventures. This brings the total funds raised to USD 67 million in less than six months.</ul>

• The funds will be utilized to accelerate product innovation, expand sales and marketing, and grow its global team.

• In addition to the funding, Laminar launched three new product capabilities within its Cloud Data Security Platform. These include expanded multi-cloud support for Microsoft Azure alongside its existing Amazon AWS support; a complete suite of automated data-centric security policies to prevent sensitive data breaches or leaks, which are independent of the cloud architecture that stores it; and autonomous discovery and classification of shadow data in self-hosted, embedded databases, which do not require their access credentials or location.
