Exaprotect

Exaprotect was a cybersecurity firm established in 2004 by founders Christophe Briguet and Jean-François Dechant. Headquartered in Mountain View, California, the company focused on developing solutions for enterprise security management.

The firm specialized in providing a security information and event management (SIEM) solution tailored for large organizations and service providers with extensive and varied infrastructures. Its core product offered centralized configuration management, log management, and event monitoring and correlation. This technology was designed to automatically connect business policies with specific network configurations to meet compliance demands and address security threats efficiently. For its clients, Exaprotect also offered a range of services including consulting, installation, training, and firewall migration support.

Financially, Exaprotect secured $5.75 million in a Series A funding round on July 11, 2006. Key investors included The Carlyle Group, Rothschild, Elaia, and Credit Mutuel Equity. The company's trajectory saw a significant milestone on October 10, 2006, when it acquired Solsoft. In April 2009, Exaprotect itself was acquired by LogLogic, a move intended to bolster LogLogic's own SIEM offerings. This new combined entity was later acquired by TIBCO in April 2012.
