Trace Network Operations, founded in 2016, provides bespoke network solutions in network management and network monitoring. Company founder Darryl Theron saw a gap in the market for a company that provides leading solutions in this space, stemming from his many years of experience in the pan-African infrastructure market. This episode of TechCentral's TCS+ business technology podcast, hosted by Jaydev Chiba, delves into how Trace Network Operations supports its customers in the areas of network management and network monitoring as a service (NMaaS) with Theron and his colleague, Gert van Deventer. The company's solutions are built around a product called StableNet, a carrier-grade network management and monitoring system that is built from the ground up. Trace Network Operations also uses other technologies, including the Red Hat Ansible automation platform, Cubro, Sophos, NetWitness and FNT. The company's solutions are designed to help businesses solve problems such as: • Lack of visibility into network activity: Many businesses lack the tools and expertise to monitor their networks effectively. This can lead to problems such as security breaches, performance issues and outages. • Difficulty in troubleshooting problems: When problems do occur, it can be difficult to identify the root cause and resolve them quickly. • Lack of automation: Many network management tasks are still performed manually, which is time-consuming and prone to errors. Trace Network Operations addresses these issues by providing a comprehensive suite of NMaaS solutions that includes: • Network monitoring: StableNet provides real-time visibility into network activity, allowing businesses to identify and resolve problems quickly. • Network management: The company's solutions help businesses to automate many network management tasks, such as configuration management, change management and fault management. • Security monitoring: It integrates solutions such as NetWitness and Cobra to provide comprehensive security monitoring and management. Trace Network Operations offers its solutions on a flexible basis, allowing businesses to tailor the level of service that best meets their needs. The interview also includes a few case studies of how Trace Network Operations' solutions have been used to provide value and benefits for companies. TechCentral

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?
