Looking at some of the most prominent reasons why there are thousands of cybersecurity vendors, and why saying “we don’t need 200+ products in the same category doing the same thing” doesn't help.
Ross, another addition: it’s my opinion that we have too many cybersecurity vendors because customers are constantly asking for ‘point products’ that address specific ‘point problems ‘…. Most customers don’t have a holistic view on cybersecurity and therefore they just choose a pint product every time they face a problem!
Great article Ross. There are many vendors chasing many problems yet a large number of security incidents could be prevented with basic hygiene. And as Fred points out, most organization from SMBs to F500 struggle to prioritize security investments relative to enterprise risk. The paradox of choice is real.
Hi Ross, another very inspiring and truth telling piece ! Although I do have a question about the "18 pure-play cybersecurity companies listed on the US stock exchange", some of the companies are not included in it , such as IronNet, Cyren, is there any standard they don't fit?
