NEW YORK — Tarsal, a security data movement company, announced the close of its $6 million seed round of funding and the appointment of cybersecurity veteran Barrett Lyon as chief technology officer (CTO). Lyon will lead the development and expansion of Tarsal’s core extract, transform and load (ETL) product. The funding round was led by Harpoon Ventures and Mango Capital, with contributions from Y Combinator, Abstract Ventures, and Backend Capital.
Tarsal is a security data movement and quality platform designed to address the needs of security teams that are modernizing data management for more enhanced performance and cost-effective analytics. With traditional security platforms no longer sufficient in managing the rapid increase of data, organizations are faced with pressing big data challenges. Tarsal’s innovative one-click ETL platform enables analysts and engineers to seamlessly ingest, normalize and analyze data in the platform of their choice, including major data warehouses, SIEMs and XDRs. Tarsal solves the complexities of managing multiple data sources via efficient data movement and high-quality data delivered from any source to any destination.
“Security teams are facing a big data problem. They are dealing with rapidly increasing volumes of data, and a proliferation of sources producing that telemetry,” said Sunny Rekhi, CEO and co-founder at Tarsal. “Their legacy systems have failed to keep up with the changing data landscape, pushing teams to look toward security data lakes. The problem is that it’s still too hard to operationalize data lakes and warehouses for security analytics. Tarsal makes it easy with a one-click ETL solution that plugs into your SIEM, XDR, data lake, or all of the above, allowing users to choose where they run their analytics.”
Through Tarsal’s innovative approach, security teams benefit from the flexibility to send data to its most suitable destination, thereby ensuring cost-effective operations. With Tarsal, total visibility is guaranteed, eliminating compromises for analysts and engineers, while its seamless integration with existing systems empowers security teams to choose where they run analytics without extensive in-house engineering.
