Obsidian Security

CEO: Glenn Chisholm

Obsidian Security was launched in June of this year to bring a new approach to the security stack, with technology to attack the challenges posed by an expanding enterprise infrastructure. While the startup is "still a little bit in stealth," the company said it will look to use tools such as data telemetry, threat detection, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to provide a "more uniform view of what you're defending and what is going in terms of activity across all of those different environments." The startup launched with $9.5 million in venture capital funding and was founded by a group of top cybersecurity executives, including Carbon Black co-founder and former CTO Ben Johnson; former Cylance CTO and product organization executive vice president Glenn Chisholm, and ex-Cylance Chief Data Scientist Matt Wolff.
