Here's how they're helping to keep us safe:

1. Providing Funding for Cybersecurity Startups

Venture capital firms are investing billions of dollars in cybersecurity startups. This funding is helping these startups to develop new and innovative technologies that can help businesses protect themselves from cyber attacks.

For example, the venture capital firm Sequoia Capital recently invested in a startup called Cylance. Cylance has developed a new type of antivirus software that uses artificial intelligence to identify and block malware.

2. Helping Startups to Commercialize Their Technologies

In addition to providing funding, venture capital firms are also helping startups to commercialize their technologies. This is important because it helps to make these technologies available to businesses of all sizes.

For example, the venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers recently helped the startup FireEye to go public. FireEye has developed a suite of cybersecurity tools that help businesses to detect and respond to cyber attacks.

3. Advocating for Cybersecurity Policies

Venture capital firms and startups are also advocating for cybersecurity policies that make it easier for businesses to protect themselves from cyber attacks. For example, the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) has been working with Congress to pass legislation that would increase funding for cybersecurity research and development.

In addition, the NVCA has been working with the Obama administration to develop a national cybersecurity strategy.

The Importance of Venture Capital and Startups in the Fight Against Cyber Attacks

Venture capital and startups are playing a vital role in the fight against cyber attacks. They are providing funding, helping to commercialize new technologies, and advocating for cybersecurity policies.

By working together, venture capital firms and startups can help to make the world a safer place from cyber attacks.
