When speaking to nearly all startups about their exit strategy, it almost invariably is acquisition. But startup M&A is an area most founders know very little about and is clouded in mystery. What really happens when a startup is acquired, how does it happen, and when? Who reaches out to whom? Do you need a banker or boutique M&A firm? What are the tricks and traps on both sides of the table? In this #DreamitLive Amit Yoran (CEO Tenable, former President, RSA & CEO, Netwitness) and Mike Viscuso (Co-Founder, Carbon Black) will share their insights on the dynamic and high-stakes process of startup M&A. With decades of experience, Amit and Mike will share their thoughts with #DreamitLive co-hosts Mel Shakir (Managing Director, Dreamit Securetech) and Steve Barsh (Managing Partner, Dreamit Ventures). In this exclusive #DreamitLive episode we'll take a peek behind the curtain to discuss rarely talked about topics that startup founders need to know including: What are the top reasons an acquirer will do a deal? What are the top things they are looking for? As a startup, how do you make yourself most attractive to an acquirer? Are startups bought or are they sold and how does that influence the process? Where do most deals originate? Via a partnership, strategic investment, banker, or somewhere else? How does a startup maximize value during the M&A process? In deal structuring, what are the pros and cons of upfront payments and earnouts? What are the top mistakes startups and acquirers make during the M&A process? How are a startup's investors involved? Can they help? Can they hurt? What role do they play? Do most acquisitions occur because a startup hires an M&A firm and starts a process? What are the biggest challenges when working with a banker or M&A firm? What are the expected trends in cybersecurity M&A? Amit Yoran is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Tenable, overseeing the company's strategic vision and direction. As the threat landscape expands, Amit is leading Tenable into a new era of security solutions, empowering organizations to meet the challenges of evolving threats with innovative technologies and a vision of transformative vulnerability management.

He has presented at events such as Blackhat and DEF CON and teaches embedded device exploitation courses. Have you ever jumped on a random WiFi connection and you didn't know where it was coming from? Probably. Most people have. But if you're one of Josh Wright's neighbors, or even if he's sipping coffee at the local shop, you might want to be careful about which wireless connection you're jumping on. But if you start seeing images that are out of focus or getting a page that seems about five years out of date or even end up on kittenwars.com, Josh might be the one responsible. Or at least his VM. You can get it on his site http://neighbor.willhackforsushi.com/ Josh is also working on something great for BSides Rhode Island. Check out the video below and he'll explain it. But if you hate the long lines at places like Cheesecake Factory and those stupid little buzzers that notify you when your table is ready, Josh might have some help for that. But you'll need to be at BSides RI to hear about it. As for the stories of the week, we had a little bit of a lean week. However jokes about Jack's balls, I mean bells, were frequent and fun. After all, it was Mardi Gras and Jack brought beads for the whole crew with the one stipulation that we had to keep out clothes on. Did you know that on Monday, February 18 at 2 pm, Paul and John will hold a free webinar with SANS. Titled "Active Defense Harbinger Distribution - Defense is Cool Again" the guys will be talking about the new offensive security distro that was built by Black Hills Infosec's Ethan Robish and John Strand. It's free, so sign up at the link above. As for some of the stories, we knew it was going to be a rough week when Paul showed us the 10 ways to reduce security headaches in a BYOD world and #1 was to secure your data. Ohhhhkayyy. Moving on. Paul also played the audio from a news broadcast from out west where the zombie apocalypse has begun. It's like a modern day War of the Worlds where people were actually calling the police to see if the story was true. Jack explained how Mega's KimDotCom (isn't it quite egotistical to just take your first name and stick "dotcom" after it? I mean, seriously) continues to show his brilliance. Where else can you get a solid, top to bottom pentest for only about 10,000 euros. He challenged anyone to hack his site and after a few bugs, he began paying up. Pretty smart. One story that actually didn't get mentioned on the show but is in the show notes is a quote from Bit9 after their hack this week: "There is no easy answer to a world where there are sophisticated actors continuously targeting every company and individual and whose primary goal is to steal information, whether for profit, power or glory. This is not fear-mongering or hype--everyone in the security business knows this fact. This is the state of cybersecurity today, and we are all frustrated and angered by it." Isn't this exactly why security firms get paid? Because there are bad people out there looking to steal information? If those people didn't exist, then would Bit9 need to exist? That's biting the hand that feeds you. That's it for this week. We'll be back next week on the usual day, Thursday, February 21 at 6 pm EST! Until then, stay calm and hack naked!
