Following the recent IBM and Red Hat
deal that just took place and what it meant for open source, the trend of
industry consolidation will continue in cybersecurity. Next year, smaller
security players will be snapped up for a variety of reasons. For talent, for a
company's underlying technology, to boost sagging top lines of legacy security
or networking vendors trying to modernize themselves, etc.
In addition, some traditional large public security
vendors have stagnated due to their legacy on-premise box-oriented
architectures and are ripe for private equity firms gobbling them up, being
split up (especially those with consumer and enterprise businesses), or a
combination of both. It especially affects businesses that depend on
computerized technology to conduct their daily business.
So, the investing in cyber security to protect your business and data from malicious
cyber-criminals and hackers isn't just desirable. It's absolutely essential to
maximize resistance against threats. Cyber
security companies or IT security consulting firms manage IT security
services such as firewalls, intrusion prevention, security threat analysis,
proactive security vulnerability
and penetration testing and incident preparation and response, which includes
IT forensics.
