Blackwall Raises $100 Million at $2.2 Billion Valuation

Estonia-based Blackwall has raised $100 million in a Series C led by AVP, lifting its valuation to $2.2 billion, TechCrunch reported on October 20.

Security through service providers

Blackwall sells security tools through hosting, cloud and managed-service providers. Its product range includes threat intelligence, certificate management, DDoS protection and traffic routing.

The company also analyzes web traffic to distinguish legitimate visitors and AI agents from malicious bots. That challenge is becoming more important as automated tools account for a wider variety of activity reaching websites.

Expansion plans

The funding will support expansion across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, alongside development of additional security tooling.

Blackwall’s provider-focused approach means the round is aimed at expanding infrastructure protection through distribution partners, rather than simply selling a standalone application to individual website owners. The valuation is a financing milestone, not a measure of annual revenue.
