Emerging Security Vendors To Know In 2022
Businesses and organizations today are under constant threat of cyberattack. As part of CRN’s Emerging Vendors for 2022, here are 56 security startups, founded in 2016 or after, that solution providers should be aware of.
The New Generation Of Cybersecurity Vendors
Business IT systems face seemingly unrelenting cyberattacks these days, including malware and ransomware, phishing scams, denial of service attacks and data theft. What’s more, the “attack surface” for potential cyberattacks has expanded with the growth of hybrid/multi-cloud computing, the growth of ecommerce platforms, the proliferation of IoT and mobile devices, and the move to remote work.
With so many high-profile security incidents making headlines these days, it’s no surprise that cybersecurity is top-of-mind for many IT managers. And that’s driving demand for cybersecurity solutions from solutions providers and strategic service providers.
The global market for cybersecurity solutions and services is expected to reach $159.8 billion this year, according to the Statista market research firm, and grow at a CAGR of 13.33 percent to $298.7 billion in 2027.
That demand is also driving a wave of IT startups that is providing next-generation security technology to help fight back against the bad guys. Here’s a look at 56 emerging vendors that are developing technologies and products that solution providers can use to build cybersecurity solutions and services for their customers.
