Security Market View From Realdefense CEO
Gary Guseinov

M&A activity is drastically altering the financial landscape for security
firms, as well as their product roadmaps. Mega-rounds for unicorns are
sucking a lot of the VC oxygen out of the room for the next tier of startups,
but those companies need to be aware of other exit options. Constantly
developing adversarial attack vectors virtually guarantee that security
technology will never "mature" (by traditional definitions), and firms across
all industries will need to acquire security technology and personnel to
keep up with these threats.
