Our Story
A history of LogRhythm
LogRhythm’s story starts in 2002 with two friends and a common dream: Phil Villella (an experimental physicist) and Chris Petersen (an audit and compliance guru) wanted to develop solutions to growing and constant cybersecurity threats.
Together, they embarked on their journey as entrepreneurs, laying out their vision for automated collection, processing, and analysis of security event data. Over the course of the next few years, they turned their dream into a reality as they co-founded their company, and LogRhythm eventually became a leading security information and event management (SIEM) solution.
