A BIG thank you to my good friend @brianmurphyRQ, Founder and CEO at @ReliaQuest and Board Chairman and Founders Circle Member for @EmbarcCollectiv, for joining me on stage for Embarc Collective’s first quarterly Builder Series event for 2025 earlier today.
Brian and I delved into his seventeen year journey at ReliaQuest from a boot-strapped startup to a globally recognized, high-growth unicorn with over 1,200 team members in Tampa, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Dublin, London, Amsterdam and Pune, India that has raised more than $1.1 billion, including a fresh funding round of over $500 million led by @eqt, @KKR_Co, and @FTVCapital with participation from @1011vc and Finback Investment Partners that valued the company at $3.4 billion.
My favorite one-liners from Brian include:
✔️ "Do the simple things savagely well ..."
✔️ "Be direct, to the point, transparency is everything ..."
✔️ "Make the big time where you are ..."
✔️ "Stay laser-focused on 'what's important now' ..."
✔️ "Have a bias for action [and] take action in the face of pain ..."
The "Builder Series" by Embarc Collective is a quarterly educational program that provides unparalleled access to business icons and thought leaders in Tampa Bay and across the state of Florida -- each sharing leadership lessons and frameworks that led them to success in their respective careers.
Embarc Collective is a globally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit startup platform dedicated to helping Florida’s startup talent build bold, scalable, and thriving companies ranked as the top incubation program in North America by @ubiglobal. Embarc serves as a central landing zone for Florida’s most driven and focused startup builders. Our platform provides founders with access to world-class coaching, curricular and content training, and community programming in our 32,000 sq ft hub in downtown Tampa along with connectivity to corporate customers, talent, and angel and institutional investors. Today, our membership includes almost 300 founders that lead 135+ early-stage tech startups and growth companies. Our value to the state's startup ecosystem is measured by the impact we have on our community of founders.

A big thank you to our ReliaQuest customers who joined us at #EXPONENT2025, our annual user conference.
With 600 attendees from over 400 companies, this event reinforced our belief that security is a team sport. Security leaders are focused on driving business outcomes—not simply adding tools or moving all their data to one platform. The future of cybersecurity will center on the customer as the platform, leveraging agentic AI and automation to stay ahead of evolving threats.
It's also clear how much mindset matters. Today’s security leaders are true entrepreneurs, pushing the limits of what’s possible and striving to improve every day. We’re inspired by the collaboration and engagement as we continue to #MakeSecurityPossible together.
#ReliaQuest #Cybersecurity #Innovation #Leadership
This investment is a testament to the security teams we work with every day, who have been willing to share their challenges with us so we can all get a little better as an industry.
ReliaQuest is proud to announce a new funding round of over $500 million, bringing the company’s valuation to $3.4 billion. This investment will fuel continued innovation in our industry-leading Agentic AI-powered cybersecurity platform, GreyMatter, for more security teams around the world.
“Everything we have done at ReliaQuest has always been driven by the problem we solve for our customers. Enterprise security teams have more data in more places than ever before, and the speed of the threat is rapidly increasing. CISOs need a way to contain threats within minutes without added cost or technical overhead, leveraging the latest innovations in Agentic AI,” said ReliaQuest Founder and CEO Brian Murphy. This new investment is a key step along our growth trajectory as a company, but most importantly it will allow us to deliver better security outcomes for even more CISOs around the world.”
This new funding round is led by EQT, KKR and FTV Capital, with participation from other existing investors Ten Eleven Ventures and Finback Investment Partners.

The future of cybersecurity isn’t about consolidating tools—it’s about empowering customers to thrive in complex, distributed environments.
That’s why our Agentic AI-powered GreyMatter platform is built around you, the customer, seamlessly integrating with the tools you use today and the ones you’ll adopt tomorrow.
In enterprise security, heterogeneous environments and distributed data are the reality. GreyMatter leverages Agentic AI to enable autonomous decision-making, accelerate threat detection, and optimize security operations—helping you stay ahead of attackers.
Cybersecurity must adapt to the customer—not the other way around. GreyMatter is designed to make that possible.
#ReliaQuest #MakeSecurityPossible #AgenticAI #Cybersecurity
AI has become a buzzword, but few AI Agents can claim 15 years of security operations experience as their foundation. This represents the future of cyber and we're just scratching the surface.
ReliaQuest is redefining security operations with its autonomous, self-learning AI Agent.
Unlike AI agents that just summarize alerts or perform single tasks, ReliaQuest’s agentic AI Agent is made up of a group of agents that can perform multiple tasks, across multiple models, using multiple tools. ReliaQuest’s AI Agent uses a decade of end-to-end incident response data and expertise to solve problems and contain threats within minutes — 20x faster and with 30% greater accuracy than traditional methods.
💬 James Lowry, CISO at Signature Aviation:
“In an industry where it’s difficult to separate hype from reality, ReliaQuest has figured out how to turn its expertise in security operations into a comprehensive solution that works.”

AI continues to create both challenges and immense opportunity in cybersecurity to drive faster containment of threats.
At ReliaQuest, we know that building trust in new AI solutions requires transparency at every step. That's why we've built our own AI Agent that not only gives CISOs and their teams visibility into every part of an AI-driven investigation, it's also flexible enough to leverage data from any source within an environment.
Gartner's recent Emerging Tech report underscores the importance of transparency and flexibility in AI security solutions. Learn more of our key takeaways:

Nick Saban; Do we have ‘Show Dogs’ on the team, or do we have ‘Hunting Dogs’ on the team?
Hunting Dogs are focused on discipline, commitment, accountability, doing the right things and getting better.
Show Dogs are worried about how they look and playing time.

It's illogical that a single security platform will solve all an enterprise's security problems. The industry forgets that we exist to solve the customers' problems, not just sell them more. Appreciated sharing our perspectives in @Forbes
