Most cybersecurity startups sell shields. Twenty sells the sword, and investors just valued that at $1bn.

Attackers seized control of more than 1,500 packages in the Arch User Repository, or AUR, the community-run software collection that sits alongside Arch Linux’s official repositories, and […]
The race to secure non-human identities just produced its second deal of the day. SailPoint, the Austin-based identity-security giant, said it plans to buy Entro, a Tel Aviv startup that finds and protects the credentials, keys and machine accounts that now swarm through every cloud. The companies did not disclose a price; Calcalist reports it […]
1Password is buying its way into the agentic enterprise. The Toronto identity-security company said on Monday it has acquired Apono, an Israeli startup that decides, in real time, what every human, machine and AI agent is allowed to touch inside a company’s systems.
