VirtualMetric receives 2.25 million euros for efficient security data processing

VirtualMetric aims to revolutionize security data management with fresh capital and a European focus. The platform reduces data volumes by up to 90 percent and helps companies use telemetry more efficiently.

Amsterdam, June 2, 2025 - The Dutch cybersecurity startup VirtualMetric has raised 2.25 million euros in a seed financing round. The round was led by specialist investors TIN Capital (Netherlands) and Auriga Cyber Ventures (France). The aim is to make security data processing in companies more efficient, scalable and cost-effective.

Flood of data puts pressure on security budgets

The amount of security-relevant data such as log files, metrics and alarms is growing rapidly. In many companies, storing and analyzing telemetry consumes a large proportion of cybersecurity budgets. According to Gartner, large companies spend up to 10 million US dollars a year on SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) alone.

CISOs tell us again and again how much data volumes and costs are slowing them down. VirtualMetric is tackling this problem with an innovative approach.

The solution: Smart telemetry optimization with VirtualMetric

VirtualMetric offers a platform that enables security managers to intelligently filter, prioritize and control data streams. This allows up to 90% less data to be forwarded to the SIEM while improving detection rates and significantly reducing effort."Our goal is to put SOC teams back in control of their data," says CEO Jimmy Wind."Less data waste, more overview, better results."

A head start thanks to proprietary architecture

The core of the solution is the "DataStream" data stream, a write-ahead log system (WAL) that enables lossless, forensically secure processing in real time. The platform integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Sentinel, Azure Data Explorer and Azure Blob Storage, helping MSSPs like Wortell to serve more customers without additional effort. The new investors are convinced of its potential.

The funds from the financing will be used for product development, team expansion and international scaling. VirtualMetric is ISO27001 and SOC2 certified and sees itself well positioned as a provider of security data management in Europe."We are experiencing a global bottleneck in telemetry processing. This is exactly where our solution comes in," explains CEO Jimmy Wind."With the new capital, we are building the foundation for the next generation of efficient and secure security operations."
