The focus is on Talon Cyber Security, a company that has created an advanced Cybersecurity for safeguarding distributed workforces. An investment of $600 million to $700 million is being considered.

Their investors include Entrée Capital, Evolution Equity, LightSpeed, Signal Fire, Okta, CrowdStrike, Samsung, and Felicis, respectively. They also have common investors, Team8 and Cyverse Capital, who specialize in cybersecurity.
