Cybersecurity Innovator SecBI Launches U.S. Office

STAMFORD, CONN (PRWEB) SEPTEMBER 13, 2017

SecBI, a leading developer of advanced cybersecurity threat detection solutions, today announced the opening of a U.S. office in Stamford, Connecticut. The office will be led by cybersecurity industry vet Wes Robinson, who is tasked with building the U.S. team, growing the customer base, and developing a partner network.

“SecBI brings something completely new and innovative to the security landscape; while other solutions force security teams to chase sporadic anomalies and disparate alerts, SecBI reduces hunting and detection time from weeks and months to machine speed, and makes mitigation ten times more accurate,” said Robinson. “The machine learning algorithms mimic an expert analyst, providing comprehensive threat detection even for the most hidden and stealthy attacks. The company is committed to helping customers better understand and counter threats. I look forward to raising SecBI’s profile in the U.S. market.”

Robinson joins SecBI with over two decades of cybersecurity experience. He previously served as NYC metro area director for security provider Zscaler. Prior to that, he held the position of NYC regional sales manager for FireEye.

“We are thrilled that SecBI chose Stamford for its U.S. headquarters,” said Dannel Malloy, governor of Connecticut. “Connecticut is home to a number of innovative, multinational companies, so SecBI will fit right in. Our community of financial institutions and insurance companies face growing cybersecurity challenges, and will provide a great launchpad for SecBI’s growth and success.”

SecBI’s software provides early and accurate detection of advanced cyber threats, including those that are hidden from other systems. By providing full-scope analysis of threats — including all involved users, devices, domains, IPs, C&C servers, drop points and more — SecBI makes mitigation fast and accurate.

“Cybercrime is increasing at an alarming rate, especially in the U.S., so the time is right for us to expand our market reach,” said Gilad Peleg, CEO of SecBI. “Wes’s extensive background in security makes him the perfect fit for SecBI, and we are pleased to welcome him aboard.”

About SecBI:
SecBI provides an advanced threat detection system that uncovers the full scope of cyber attacks, including all affected users, domains, assets and more. Based on proprietary machine learning technology, SecBI’s solution detects advanced threats that other systems miss, creates a comprehensive incident storyline with autonomous investigation, and enables rapid and accurate mitigation. SecBI’s team uniquely balances cybersecurity domain expertise and technological ingenuity with entrepreneurship, large scale operational experience and business leadership.

A Defining Moment for Cybersecurity, for JVP, and for Israel/US Cooperation: CyberArk’s $25B Merger with Palo Alto Networks

Blue lion silhouette facing left beside bold blue letters “JVP” on a transparent background.

Last week marked a moment of both pride and reflection for all of us at JVP. The announcement of CyberArk’s $25 billion acquisition by Palo Alto Networks is not just a landmark deal in the cybersecurity landscape—it’s a powerful validation of the JVP Way, our approach to company building that continues to define our firm today.

While we are no longer CyberArk shareholders, having exited our position a few years after its IPO, we were proud to have been CyberArk’s leading and largest shareholder from its early days to several years after it became a public company and its emergence as an international category leader. While I was Chairman of the company, we partnered closely with the founders during the most formative years of its journey. Back in 2011, when many investors were ready to sell the company for $120 million, JVP chose to reinvest and increased our position to 47%, buying out early shareholders, bringing in Goldman Sachs as an equity investment partner, and partnering with management to lay the foundation for a strong international expansion. That pivotal moment gave the company the opportunity to scale into a true global market leader. 

CyberArk has always been ahead of the curve—pioneering insider threat protection, secrets management, machine-to-machine authentication, and most recently, preparing the world for secure Agentic-AI infrastructure. Its merger with Palo Alto Networks positions it to lead the AI era with a fully integrated, end-to-end security platform. 

We invite you to revisit JVP’s unique role in CyberArk’s growth in this Forbes featureReuters press, and from CyberArk’s newsroom.

This milestone is a reminder that JVP’s tried and true approach – invest, reinvest, roll up our sleeves, and work diligently alongside founders and management teams to build category leading global companies – works. The JVP Way, developed over 30 years, is what enables JVP to build companies that lead and transform industries to the benefit of our investors.

Today, we continue to apply the same methodology to our current portfolio with company after company surpassing the $100 million revenue threshold, with JVP owning 40% or more, as they too become category-leading international businesses.
