Paper is the traditional one year anniversary gift. The modern gift is a clock. At ThreatQuotient you get a really cool jacket to mark your first year with the company. I got mine last week and I love it. Its iron gray with our rhino logo embroidered in white and it fits just right. But what I love most about this jacket is the fantastic year it commemorates.

We’ve built an amazing company and we’re just getting started.

We’ve raised nearly 25 million dollars with our lead investor New Enterprise Associates (NEA) and our early investors, Blu Venture Investors and the Center for Innovative Technology (CIT).

We’ve created a stellar board with respected industry leaders, including: Marty Roesch, VP and Chief Architect of Cisco’s Security Business Group; Peter Barris, Managing General Partner, NEA; Harry Weller, General Partner, NEA; Steven Chen, Principal, Blue Venture Investors; and Aaron Higbee, Co-Founder and CTO, PhishMe.

We’ve opened our headquarters facilities in Reston, Virginia, launched operations in Europe, and created our Threat Alliance Program to grow and gain strategic partners around the globe as we become a 100 percent channel company.

These accomplishments haven’t gone unnoticed and we’re very proud of the awards we’ve received along the way. Most recently, ThreatQuotient was recognized as a SINET 16 Innovator, but we’ve also received the 2016 NVTC Hot Ticket Award for hottest cybersecurity and safety innovation, as well as multiple “Company of the Year,” “Startups to Watch,” and “Top Innovator” awards.

We’re continuing to invest in our innovative approach to threat intelligence that empowers defenders with accurate, relevant and timely data they can act on. While I’m incredibly excited about our accomplishments over the past 12 months, I’m even more excited for the innovations that are coming. I look forward to staying in touch through the rest of the year and encourage you to start making plans now to visit us at RSA Conference 2017.
