Cybersecurity
Our increasingly digital world is under constant attack.
Each of our companies has a mission to keep business, employee, and customer information safe by anticipating where and how adversaries will strike next.
Why Cybersecurity
From personal, customer, and financial data to intellectual property, the amount of information we store and transmit online is growing every day.
And cyberattacks are getting more sophisticated, adapting faster, and becoming more frequent—threatening businesses, industries, and lives.
Cybersecurity is fundamental to the continued digitization of our world. Our portfolio companies are advancing the future of cybersecurity by driving innovation in next-generation protective technologies and developing advanced threat detection solutions. These efforts ensure proactive responses to evolving cyberthreats, leveraging AI-driven analytics, real-time monitoring, and automated defenses to stay ahead of sophisticated attack vectors and emerging vulnerabilities.

The .406 Edge
Cybersecurity is in our DNA.
As operators and investors in the information security space for over 30 years, we’ve lived the problem and have invested in dozens of innovative companies creating leading solutions.
We get the evolution.
Attack surfaces are growing, attack vectors are evolving, and adversaries are innovating. With the ground constantly shifting, the cybersecurity cat and mouse game makes it incredibly difficult for new entrants to gain a foothold in this now mainstream market. We understand the moving pieces and will help you to navigate the waters to ensure that your company rises above the noise.
People matter.
We’ve carefully crafted our council of over 40 cybersecurity leaders and buyers over the years to ensure that we’re focused on the right challenges and can plug you into some of the most influential leaders in the industry as you build your business.
Our sleeves are shredded.
There’s no time to roll them up as we’re in the trenches with you from the get go. Data is the lifeblood of every business, and bad actors have more and more opportunities to breach your customers as digital transformation accelerates. We’ll work with you to forge the path to success whether through technical or go-to-market means or both.
