Insurtechs, Sumo Logic & R7 Go Private, Cyren Closes, Darktrace Shorted, &NSA Hiring! – ESW #305
In the Enterprise News: Whether you want insurtechs or not, they’re here and you’re getting them! Don’t worry – we’ll explain what insurtechs are. Two potential deals to take security companies private: Sumo Logic and Rapid 7! Looks like 32 year old security company Cyren is shutting down, hoping for an asset sale. They’ve already laid off all their employees. Big drama: a firm shorts Darktrace and releases a scathing report. We’ve got yet more more layoffs this week, but don’t fret – the NSA is hiring!
For our squirrel stories, we’ll be deciding between three stories: codebreakers solve 500 year old ciphers, the real cost of meetings visualized, and sushi terrorists!
