Marianne Budnik is Talon Cyber Security’s CMO.

“This funding will allow us to continue delivering unmatched value to our partners through an increased investment in our partner program,” she said.

Partners play an “incredibly large” role in Talon Cyber Security‘s growth and expansion plans, Budnik said.

“For Talon, our partners are a key component of our growth strategy going forward,” she said. “And it’s pivotal that we provide them with all of the necessary resources for us to have success together.”

As organizations have embraced distributed work for employees and contractors, the reliance on SaaS applications has risen, and security needs have evolved. With Talon Cyber Security, security teams get deep visibility into browser and application activity, as well as native security features like authentication, data loss prevention (DLP) and zero trust controls.

“Partners can expect new product capabilities and resources that will help us be mutually successful together,” Budnik said. “Channel recruitment is a key focus for us throughout the balance of the year and beyond.”

Richard Seewald is founder and managing partner of Evolution Equity Partners. He is joining Talon Cyber Security’s board of directors.

“In cybersecurity, the word innovative gets thrown around often, but with Talon, it is a perfect descriptor,” he said. “I have never seen a company create and lead a category with such authority, and experience such impressive traction with customers so quickly. Talon has the potential to become one of the leading companies in the broader security industry, and it’s an honor to help them on their journey.”
