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. Additionally, Dig Security, a leading expert in protecting data within public clouds, is being evaluated for an investment of $300 million to $400 million. Palo Alto, with a current market capitalization approaching $70 billion, is a publicly traded company.

Both startups are less than three years old, and in both instances, these outcomes would significantly exceed their current valuations.

Talon has managed to secure an impressive $143 million in funding, while Dig, on the other hand, has raised a comparatively modest $45 million. 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.
