Led by Barmak Meftah, president and CEO, the company has positioned itself to serve mid-market companies by offering the AlienVault USM as an all-in-one, cost-effective solution that helps companies with limited IT budget and resources manage threat detection and incident response. 

New investor Institutional Venture Partners (IVP) led the $52 million round, with participation from existing investors, including Trident Capital, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and GGV Capital. Steve Harrick, General Partner at IVP, will join the board of directors as an observer.
