Important news about SIEM software


2023. Gutsy launches with huge $51M seed to bring process mining to security



In a universe where cybersecurity firms usually play a rather dull game of "Spot the Error" and "Config-Whack-a-Mole," Gutsy—a startup now delightfully plump with $51 million in seed funding—has opted for a bolder approach, one that sees systems as more than just collections of suspiciously blinking servers. Gutsy realized, quite astutely, that systems are really vast collections of processes, all entangled like wires in a Vogon IT closet and that understanding an incident requires more than spotting an error; it’s about following the tangled paths that led there. This approach, something like the business world’s mystical "process mining," lets Gutsy shine a light on broken paths in places like staff offboarding, where processes can go as wonky as a Babel fish in a tea kettle. And so, by tracing these interconnected mysteries, Gutsy doesn’t just react; it offers a glimpse of a world where security flaws can be anticipated and prevented before they become, well, highly inconvenient.


2023. Threat intelligence startup Cyble lands $24M



Threat intelligence, much like the galaxy, is becoming ever more necessary for dealing with the swirling cosmic chaos of emerging cyber exploits. Yet, as one might expect in a universe prone to bizarre inconveniences, many organizations find their noble efforts floundering amidst talent-related black holes, making their attempts at prediction slightly less than useful—sort of like carrying an umbrella in a meteor shower. Enter the intrepid cybersecurity startup known as Cyble, boldly presenting itself as a "threat intelligence provider" and having somehow managed to charm $24 million out of investors in a Series B funding round. Cyble has taken on the grand task of peering into the murky depths of the dark web and the slightly less sinister "surface web," helping companies navigate and shrink their rather worrisome digital risk footprints. Their alleged treasure trove includes data from over 6,000 shadowy "darknet" marketplaces—those delightful havens of illicit file sharing. Naturally, they face competition from outfits like SnapAttack, a creation spun out of Booz Allen, which offers its own impressive heap of labeled threat data and presumably, a similarly Herculean mission to make sense of it all.




2021. Market demand for cybersecurity products helps Devo raise $250M



Devo, a startup specializing in log management and cybersecurity, announced this morning that it has secured $250 million in funding. In corporate terms, Devo provides “cloud-native logging and security analytics.” In simpler language, Devo has created a service that gathers log files from customers into a centralized repository, storing 400 days’ worth of data in a readily accessible manner. From there, it offers two products that utilize those stored log files: one focused on cybersecurity and the other on IT support.


2021. Blumira raises $10.3M to bring cloud-based SIEM to mid-market companies



In a universe not entirely dissimilar to our own, a plucky cybersecurity outfit called Blumira has somehow managed to convince the cosmos to hand over $10.3 million in Series A funding—a tidy sum for a company founded in the impossibly distant year of 2018. Their mission? To gift medium-sized businesses with enterprise-level security through cloud-based wizardry that’s as simple as pressing a button labeled “Don’t Panic.” By smashing the SIEM (Security Information and Event Management, for those who delight in acronyms) market to bits, Blumira offers mid-sized firms a shiny, affordable toolkit that can deploy faster than a Vogon reads poetry, equipping them with corporate-grade threat monitoring without requiring a planet-sized budget.


2021. Cybersecurity startup Panaseer raises $26.5M



Panaseer, which employs a data science approach to cybersecurity, has secured $26.5 million in Series B funding. Panaseer’s unique offering and sales pitch revolve around what it terms “Continuous Controls Monitoring” (CCM). In simpler terms, this involves correlating a vast amount of data from all available security tools to assess assets, identify control gaps and more. As a result, the company claims it can detect zero-day and other vulnerabilities more quickly, including those related to FireEye or SolarWinds. CCM continuously verifies and measures protection levels and provides alerts for failures. Ultimately, CCM allows these issues to be addressed before they escalate into security incidents.


2020. Hunters raises $15M for its AI-based threat-hunting platform



In a universe where enterprises are perpetually under siege by digital intruders with all the subtlety of a Vogon poetry recital, Hunters — a plucky Tel Aviv-based cybersecurity startup — has managed to snag a $15 million Series A funding round from none other than Microsoft and a cadre of other intrepid investors. Their ingenious SaaS platform does what any sane galactic hitchhiker would dream of: automates the mind-numbingly tedious threat-hunting process, traditionally the equivalent of hunting for a very small and particularly sneaky Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. By hoovering up data from an enterprise's labyrinthine networking and security systems, it hopes to sniff out stealth attacks with the precision of a hyper-intelligent, pan-dimensional being.


2020. Axonius nabs $58M for its cybersecurity-focused network asset management platform



Axonius, a New York-based firm that allows organizations to manage and monitor the array of computing assets connecting to their networks — and then integrate that data into approximately 100 different cybersecurity tools for analysis — has secured a Series C funding round of $58 million. The company has experienced a significant surge in business over the past year, especially given the current circumstances, which is unsurprising for a company that facilitates secure remote work, as many businesses have transitioned to remote operations in response to government guidelines promoting social distancing to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
