Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems have been around for a dozen years or so. During that timeframe, SIEMs evolved from perimeter security event correlation tools to GRC platforms to security analytics systems. Early vendors such as eSecurity, GuardedNet, Intellitactics and NetForensics are distant memories. Today’s SIEM market is now dominated by a few leaders: LogRhythm, McAfee (aka: Nitro Security), HP (aka: ArcSight), IBM (aka: QRadar) and Splunk.

As our use of technology has evolved, so have the threats that can derail and even destroy a business or even a country. Remember December 2013 when credit card information from 40 million users were stolen a few days before Christmas in a major attack on Target? Or the power outage (allegedly triggered by Russia) which lasted six to nine hours in the Ukraine during Christmas season last year? Cyber attacks are more of a threat to companies and governments today than they were yesterday, and will become even more so tomorrow.

Most venture capitalists embrace the career after a stint as a banker, CEO, or tech executive. Then the average tenure as a VC spans over 15 years, during which they groom two new startups per year, and enjoy the lifestyle attached to that profession.
