S.F.-Based Alsop Louie Leads $5M Round for Lookingglass Cyber Solutions

San Francisco -- Alsop Louie Partners, a San Francisco-based venture capital firm focused on early-stage technology companies, said on Monday it has led a new $5 million round of funding for Lookingglass Cyber Solutions, a Baltimore-based developer of security software designed to help users anticipate and protect against targeted attacks. Vital Financial also participated in the company's first round, which it plans to use to boost sales and marketing activities, and help bring its latest tools to market. Lookingglass's core product, known as ScoutVision, allows organizations to continuously monitor their own networks, networks of their partners and cloud-computing resources to protect against malicious threats. The information helps security professionals determine whether networks have communicated with known threat sources. "The threat landscape changed dramatically in the last year and, as a result, more organizations are recognizing the value of having situational awareness and actionable intelligence," said CEO Derek Gabbard.
