The company aims to raise as much as $100 million in the IPO, according to a regulatory filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Columbia, Maryland, company led by Amit Yoran — a former RSA president and US-CERT director — will be listed on the Nasdaq.

The company is optimistic about taking on the well-established players in the cybersecurity market.

Carbon Black's SEC filing says it hopes to raise $100 million. The Boston area company provides antivirus and endpoint security services to protect customers from cyberthreats.

One of the best funded cybersecurity companies in the entire industry is reportedly on the precipice of finally going public.

The move comes after years of speculation and reporting on the IPO.
