Announcing the 2025 Cyber 60 and our second annual CISO survey! https://lnkd.in/exXEt_r4At Lightspeed, our team has been investing in enterprise founders for 25 years, and cybersecurity remains one of the core pillars of our global enterprise practice. For the second year, we are spotlighting leading companies in this sector and releasing our second annual CISO survey. Together with Fortune, we have compiled a list of the top 60 venture-backed cybersecurity startups. Congratulations! We’re also releasing our CISO survey. We surveyed 200 CISOs and the results show that, more than ever, this is cybersecurity’s moment. There is a growing demand for cybersecurity solutions and AI is heavily impacting the decision making from CISOs.

In the evolving landscape of audio AI, we're entering a new era of discovery.

Cloud-native infrastructure has come a long way, but as it’s grown, there have been difficulties managing cloud resources efficiently. To combat this problem, we’re leading a $58M Series B in ScaleOps - Cloud-Native Optimization—after also leading their Series A last year. With predictive scaling and intelligent pod placement, ScaleOps helps companies optimize their cloud storage, boosts app performance, and cuts costs by up to 50%. We’re excited to deepen our partnership with Co-Founders Yodar Shafrir, Guy Baron, and their team as they make cloud-native management more effective.
