Summary
Northstar Security, based in San Francisco, emerged from stealth with $7 million in seed funding led by Wing Venture Capital. The company is positioning itself against a persistent problem in cybersecurity: security teams now have more data and tools than ever but still lack the connected context needed to understand risk and act on it.
The round also drew participation from MVP and Outliers, as well as individual investors who are cybersecurity industry veterans: Gerhard Eschelbeck, Renaud Deraison and Justin Somaini. The announcement did not disclose a valuation or the names of any other participants.
