- 2. FUNDING: Transmit Security raises $543M Series A to kill off the password – TechCrunchThis is a series A larger than many VC firms' entire funds! I checked - this isn't just big for cybersecurity - it's a big Series A by any measure. In the last year, the only other US Series A I could find that was bigger was a company called Perch, that sells and grows third-party D2C brands that sell through Amazon.
- 3. FUNDING: Industrial cybersecurity firm Claroty raises $140 million from investorsA big Series D for the OT security world, especially considering that OT is fairly niche in the larger cybersecurity world.
- 4. FUNDING: Startup Arctic Wolf Valued Above $4 Billion in New InvestmentArctic Wolf has emerged from the boom in managed services as a leader and this growth is evidence of that. They've already raised nearly $350m to date, with the last round a $200m Series E. That suggests an even larger forthcoming Series F, also backed by Viking Global Investors, a global hedge fund based in Connecticut.

- 6. TOOLS: Rumble Network Discovery 2.3Rumble is doing so much amazing stuff at such a fast pace! No one else comes even close to some of the stuff Rumble has done over the past 2 years. Release 2.3 brings a new RFC1918 coverage report that keeps track of which internal IPv4 subnets have been discovered, which are unscanned but are hinted at by discovered assets, and which are still uncharted territory. This report includes links to run new scans of the unmapped networks using Rumble’s lightning-fast subnet sampling feature.
- 7. STANDARDS: Biden’s executive order on cybersecurity should include behavior transparency – TechCrunchSBOMs aren't enough!
