Presentations by firm, which has notched $3.5 billion valuation, exposed private network information, server and computer names

For years, cybersecurity startup Tanium Inc. pitched its software by showing it working in the network of a hospital it said was a client, according to people familiar with the matter and videos of the demonstrations. That and other efforts helped the company grow quickly, notching a valuation of $3.5 billion and a big investment from Andreessen Horowitz, one of Silicon Valley’s most prominent venture firms.

An Allscripts spokeswoman said her company “did not grant Tanium permission to use El Camino Hospital’s data for customer demos.” El Camino Hospital didn’t respond to a question about what type of authorization Mr. Hindawi might have had.

They worked extremely hard to get to 3.5 Billion valuation but forgot to take permission or hide hospital's critical information.
