This week, Tyler and Adrian discuss Cyera's $300M Series C, which lands them a $1.4B valuation! But is that still a unicorn? Aileen Lee of Cowboy Ventures, who coined the term back in 2013, recently wrote a piece celebrating the 10th anniversary of the term, and revisiting what it means. We HIGHLY recommend checking it out: https://www.cowboy.vc/news/welcome-back-to-the-unicorn-club-10-years-later
They discuss a few other companies that have raised funding or just come out of stealth, including Scrut Automation, Allure Security, TrojAI, Knostic, Prompt Armor.
They discuss Eclipsium's binary analysis tooling, and what the future of fully automated security analysis could look like.
Wiz acquired Gem, and Veracode acquired Longbow. Adrian LOVES Longbow's website, BTW.
They discuss a number of essays, some of which are a must read:
- Daniel Miessler's Efficient Security Principle
