Bizanga closes $8M to block spam, email viruses
Bizanga, maker of an email management platform that defends against spam and virsuses, just raised $8 million in first-round funding led by Credit Agricole Private Equity, a French firm, and including seed backer Galileo Partners. The San Mateo, Calif. company says it will use the investment to grow its sales operations in Asia and continue development of new products.
In addition to blocking out system attacks, Bizanga’s software can also be used to establish parental controls, deploy new services and enforce compliance. Its clients include internet service providers, mobile operators and cable operators. It already has substantial traction in Europe.
