Press Release · July 21, 2026
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — July 21, 2026 — Pinpoint Search Group today announced the launch of its live Cybersecurity Funding Dataset, an interactive platform providing continuously updated intelligence on cybersecurity funding rounds and mergers and acquisitions.
The platform enables users to search, analyze and track more than 2,600 cybersecurity transactions dating back to May 2020, including more than 2,000 funding rounds and more than 650 M&A deals, representing over $80 billion in disclosed funding and more than $245 billion in disclosed acquisition value across more than 50 pure-play cybersecurity market segments.
Unlike general funding databases, every transaction is manually reviewed against a pure-play cybersecurity methodology before being classified according to the security problem the vendor solves, rather than broader infrastructure or IT categories. The dataset is updated continuously as transactions are announced, allowing users to monitor market activity.
Mark Sasson, managing partner of Pinpoint Search Group, said: “Most funding databases treat cybersecurity as a catch-all category. We wanted to build something the market could actually trust. Every company in our dataset passes a pure-play cyber test before it is classified, giving users a much more accurate picture of where capital is flowing.”
The platform includes searchable funding and acquisition records, interactive charts, investor analysis, watchlists and data exports. Users can filter transactions by company, funding stage, deal type, investor, acquisition, segment and date.
While Pinpoint will continue publishing its monthly, quarterly and annual funding reports, the new platform means users no longer need to wait for scheduled reports to understand how investment activity is evolving.
“A CISO, an investor and a reporter all look at the same transactions and trends, and all want something different,” Sasson said. “The reports tell you what happened and why. The platform lets each of them pull what they need out of the data, whenever they need it.”
The dataset has been designed for investors, CISOs, analyst firms, MSSPs, founders, and journalists, each with different ways of interrogating the data. Journalists can quickly identify funding trends by sector, analyze investor activity and verify funding claims, while investors can monitor capital flows between market segments and identify emerging categories.
A free account provides access to charts, narrative analysis and headline statistics. Verified journalists receive complimentary access to the full professional version, including exact funding amounts, lead investors, complete historical records and export functionality.
Paid access starts at $3 a month for individuals researching the market — including industry professionals evaluating which cybersecurity vendors are funded and hiring — with Insider and Pro tiers for investors and analyst teams.
The launch coincides with publication of Pinpoint’s latest quarterly Cyber Security Vendor Funding Report, which found cybersecurity M&A activity reached a record high during Q2 2026. The report is now one component of a broader platform designed to provide continuous visibility into cybersecurity investment activity.
