    Private equity firms Bain Capital and Crosspoint Capital will acquire cybersecurity startup ExtraHop for $900 million. It’s one of the largest acquisitions of a Seattle-area tech startup to date, and comes amid heightened cybersecurity concerns across industries.

The 14-year-old company — which hinted at an IPO in the past — hit $100 million annual recurring revenue in the first quarter and expects that metric to grow by 40% this year.
