Thank you to our customers and partners for your belief, trust and partnership in achieving success together, and all Corelighters for your dedication and hard work. We are thrilled to announce our Series E investment from lead investor #Accel and strategic investors #Cisco and #Crowdstrike. Why are these industry leaders doubling down on #Corelight? Hit us up - we are happy to share the exciting news. #networksecurity #cybersecurity #NDR #cloudsecurity #nextgenSIEM #Opensource

This is *huge* ! Accel is tripling down on Corelight, CrowdStrike is doubling down and Cisco is now also placing a bet on our future, all based on the strength of our growth and innovation, especially around AI and cloud security. Nearly seven years ago I first met some two-dozen intrepid folks productizing an open source security project called…Bro!? I was struck by their early customer traction and the team’s exceptionally uncommon intersection of brilliance, determination, and humility. I felt inspired, wanted "in", and am forever grateful that the founders and team invited me to join them on their mission. When I joined Corelight the Network Detection & Response (NDR) product category did not yet exist and we had just one offering: a 1U appliance with a command-line interface and most, but not all of the features of Bro/Zeek! I thought: worst case, I will learn a lot, middle case, we will build a successful open source business, best case, we will find our way to a new market category and become a successful cybersecurity vendor. Corelight, of course, has exceeded my wildest dreams. We are the fastest-growing vendor in the NDR market and with the winds of industry giants like CrowdStrike, Cisco, Mandiant and others at our back...it's now Corelight's game to lose!

A big reason for this continued growth, in my view, is the openness and transparency with which we operate. Born as an inspiring open source project, Corelight's Open NDR Platform consistently attracts investments and strategic partnerships from some of the most innovative security vendors because of its openness. Powerful Corelight network telemetry can easily fit into their customers' environment, workflows, SIEMS, and data lakes to make security not just easier, but much more effective. Openness is a big part of our DNA.
