If you want to know what’s new in cyber security, watch what the start-up vendors are doing. They typically begin with an innovative idea and are unfettered by an installed base and its mainstream approach. Start-ups often tackle problems no one else is addressing.
The downside, of course, is that start-ups often lack resources and maturity. It’s a risk for a company to commit to a start-up’s product or platform, and it requires a different kind of customer/vendor relationship. The rewards, however, can be huge if it gives that company a competitive advantage or reduces stress on security resources.
