LogRhythm, The Security Intelligence Company, today announced a $40M round of new equity financing, led by Riverwood Capital, with participation by existing investors Adams Street Partners, Access Venture Partners and members of senior management, along with new investor Piper Jaffray. The round of financing signals confidence that demand and market share for LogRhythm's award-winning security intelligence solutions will continue to grow amidst an increasingly sophisticated cyber threat environment. The proceeds will be used to accelerate investment in product development, sales and marketing and customer service as the company further capitalizes on its strong momentum.

When threats are identified early in their lifecycle, damaging breaches can be avoided.
