Hexens was founded in 2021 with the aim to protect assets and data from any kind of threats. The company tweeted it is planning to use the funds to increase its cyber security service coverage and develop products that can become a standard toolset for developers and security researchers in the industry.
Hexens co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Sipan Vardanyan says blockchain is one of the rapidly evolving industries and many believe it's the future of money.
