NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Marathon Asset Management (“Marathon”), a leading global credit manager with more than $24 billion of assets under management, is pleased to announce the closing of a joint led senior financing for Owl Cyber Defense (the “Company”), a portfolio company of DC Capital Partners.
