VirtualMetric Raises €2.25M to Solve Cybersecurity’s Telemetry Bottleneck

VirtualMetric, a fast-rising innovator in Security Data Management, has raised €2.25 million in funding to tackle one of cybersecurity’s most costly bottlenecks: unmanageable telemetry. The round was led by specialist cybersecurity investors TIN Capital (Netherlands) and Auriga Cyber Ventures (France), and will support VirtualMetric’s mission to reduce SIEM costs, streamline data pipelines, and boost operational efficiency.

The funding will accelerate product development, expand the go-to-market team, and support customer deployments across Europe and beyond. “We’re scaling fast and hiring across roles to meet growing demand,” said Jimmy Wind, Co-Founder and CEO of VirtualMetric. “The telemetry challenge is global – and we’re just getting started. We’re building the foundation for the next generation of scalable, efficient, and secure cyber operations.”

Reinout vander Meûlen, Managing Partner at TIN Capital: “CISOs consistently tell us they’re overwhelmed by data volume and costs. VirtualMetric’s unique capabilities, including its VMF3 data format, provide a powerful answer – enabling high-fidelity threat detection at scale and reduced complexity.”

The Problem: Exploding Telemetry, Rising Costs

Organisations are collecting more security data than ever before: logs, metrics, alerts—everything gets stored. But the volume has become nearly unmanageable, while storage and analysis costs continue to rise disproportionately. Large enterprises spend up to $10 million per year on their SIEM environments. And while cybersecurity budgets appear to rise year over year to match a fast-evolving threat landscape, they remain tightly constrained due to ballooning telemetry-related costs. As more budget is consumed by SIEM ingestion and data storage, less is left for innovation in detection and response.

VirtualMetric’s Solution: Smarter, Leaner Security Data

VirtualMetric empowers SOC teams to regain control over their telemetry environments. Its technology allows enterprises to route, filter, and shape data with precision – extracting more value from SIEM platforms like Microsoft Sentinel while reducing ingestion volumes by up to 90% and manual effort by 60%. “We help security teams take back control,” said Jimmy Wind. “With our solution, they can maximize SIEM performance, reduce spend, and improve detection – without being buried in noise or operational cost.”

Backing a Category Leader in the Making

“VirtualMetric combines deep technical know-how with clear market focus and sharp execution,” said William Lecat, Partner at Auriga Cyber Ventures. “The team is ISO27001 and SOC2 certified and perfectly positioned to lead the European market in Security Data Management.”
