**French startup EfficientIP secures $11M investment to combat DDoS attacks**

EfficientIP, a network security and automation specialist, has announced securing an impressive $11 million in a Series B investment from Jolt Capital in Paris. This significant investment will fuel their international expansion plans.

David Williamson, CEO of EfficientIP, expressed their excitement, stating, “This investment will accelerate our global expansion. The demand for DDI solutions in the market is growing rapidly, and we are well-positioned to capitalize on it. We will increase our sales force, further innovate to meet future customer needs, and Jolt Capital’s expertise in scaling tech companies globally makes them the perfect partner for our growth phase.”

In addition, EfficientIP plans to strengthen its partnership network with industry-leading companies like Cisco, VMware, and ServiceNow.

EfficientIP faces competition from prominent US firms such as Infoblox (with a valuation of $740 million and raised $120 million), BlueCat (also in the Series B stage), and NS1 (which recently raised $78 million in Series C).

Guillaume Girard, a Partner at Jolt Capital, shared their confidence in EfficientIP’s potential, stating, “We have been closely monitoring EfficientIP and are impressed with their consistent delivery of ambitious growth plans.
