History

Talon Cyber Security was founded in 2021[3] by Ofer Ben Noon (the founder of Argus Cyber Security, an Israeli developer of security technologies for vehicles) and Ohad Bobrov (the founder of Lacoon Mobile Security, which specializes in security for mobile telephones).[3][4][5][6]

In April 2021, the company raised a $26,000,000 seed round, which became the biggest seed round in Israel.[1][4] The company also announced an investment from John W. Thompson, former chairman of the board at Microsoft and ex-CEO of Symantec; George Kurtz, co-founder of CrowdStrike; and Mark Anderson, formerly the president of Palo Alto Networks.[7][8]

In October 2021, it launched the security-focused browser TalonWork.[8][9][10] Talon was listed in Israel's Globes Most Promising Startups of 2021.[11]

In January 2022, Talon Cyber Security announced that it raised $43 million in new funding, including $17 million in agreement for future equity investments.[12][13][14][15]

In May 2022 the company appointed Admiral Mike Rogers, a retired United States Navy admiral who served as the second commander of the United States Cyber Command as well as the director of the National Security Agency (NSA) and the chief of Central Security Service (CSS) to its Board of Advisors.[16][17] In August 2022, Talon Cyber Security raised $100,000,000 in Series A funding.[18]
