For David Cowan, the tipping point was a cyberattack from Anonymous. Cowan, a venture capitalist at Bessemer Venture Partners, had spent years asking startup founders what they planned to do if hackers targeted their business. Often, the founders on the other side of the boardroom would shrug and say, “We don’t hold any personal information, so they don’t need to come after us.” That changed, he said, after the email marketing company SendGrid was hit in 2013 with a denial-of-service attack that ultimately caused about 20 percent of the young company’s clients to walk away, not too long after Bessemer had led a $21 million funding round for the company The attack occurred after an employee, Adria Richards, publicly complained that a developer from the gaming company Playhaven made sexual remarks in the audience at the 2013 PyCon tech conference.

Cybersecurity sales teams often spread the idea that companies with the most sophisticated data protection strategies got that way by spending the most money on the latest and greatest security products. Truthfully, that’s usually not the case. U.S. companies have begun in recent years to enter strategic partnerships with cybersecurity startups, which often offer products at lower rates and more flexible terms than established market leaders. The technique allows companies like insurance giant Aetna health and New Jersey-based telecommunications firm IDT Corp. to more aggressively experiment with the services security startups offer, sometimes even stitching together technology from multiple distinct organizations. “I tend to choose innovators that are developing capabilities that have the potential to be game-changing, whereas leading enterprise security companies have a commitment to serve the broadest needs of the overall market,” said Jim Routh, chief security officer at Aetna. “Those needs don’t look a whole lot like our needs.” […]
