  1. 1. FUNDING – New funding for Eon, Resolve AI, Harmonic, Apono, reAlpha, and a quartet of privacy engineering startups

    From Return on Security's Security Funded newsletter, we've got

    1. Eon Launches out of Stealth with $127 Million to Reinvent Cloud Infrastructure Backup - coming out of stealth AFTER raising Seed, Series A, and Series B? Definitely not your typical situation. Last time I saw something like this, it was a Cloudflare/Fastly competitor, and didn't end well.
    2. Introducing Resolve AI - $35M Seed round, led by Greylock
    3. [Gearing up for Success: Fueling Harmonic’s Journey with New Series A Funding] (https://www.harmonic.security/blog-posts/gearing-up-for-success-fueling-harmonics-journey-with-new-series-a-funding?_bhlid=7fb1b4fd22917c25952b9eb3d97bc4e1198dafd3) ($17.5M)
    4. Apono Secures $15.5M Series A Funding to Revolutionize Cloud Access Security
    5. reAlpha Invests in Xmore AI to Advance AI-Powered Cybersecurity Solutions - another odd one. A real estate tech company investing in a AI-powered SOC automation company? Definitely not your usual investment.
    6. News Release: DHS S&T Awards Contracts to Four Startups to Develop Privacy-Enhancing Synthetic Data Generation Capabilities - we haven't seen privacy engineering in a while, super interesting!
  2. 2. ACQUISITIONS: Dragos Acquires Network Perception, Delivers the Industry’s Most Comprehensive Visibility of OT Environments
  3. 3. ACQUISITIONS: Prevalent Acquired by Mitratech: A New Era for TPRM
  4. 4. REPORTS: Nitrogen Campaign Drops Sliver and Ends With BlackCat Ransomware
  5. 5. PRODUCT REVIEWS: Security Hub gives me imposter syndrome – Chris Farris
  6. 6. ESSAYS: Secure-by-Design vs. Secure-by-Default: What’s the Difference?
  7. 7. ESSAYS: The three-body problem of SaaS security – Nudge Security
