RedLock
Cloud threat defense and security analytics — cloud security posture management (CSPM) with real-time threat detection across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Funding & Investors
$12M
Outcome
Acquired by Palo Alto Networks for $173M (October 2018). Technology became the foundation of Prisma Cloud.
Lesson Learned
Cloud security posture management hit a nerve as multi-cloud adoption exploded. RedLock's $12M-to-$173M exit in ~3 years is one of the best ROIs in the RSAC Sandbox history. Lesson: right category + right timing = massive acqui-hire by platform vendors racing to fill cloud gaps.
