New Delhi, Jan 14 (SocialNews.XYZ) Pune-headquartered Quick Heal Technologies on Thursday said it has invested $2 million in L7 Defense, an Israel-based cybersecurity startup.
Quick Heal had invested $300,000 in L7 Defense in the previous financial year.
L7 Defense specialises in Application Program Interface (API) Security and Next Generation Web Application Firewall (NG-WAF).
"L7 Defense has proven its unique capabilities in the area of API Security and NG-WAF which led us to further increase our investment.
