The Black Unicorn Report for 2021
In this Black Unicorn Report for 2021, we’ve taken a few unique cybersecurity lenses to view the market and predict the future. Note that post COVID-19, the world has turned upside down and it’s accelerated telecommuting and cloud-based apps (SaaS) expansion, moving us from 3-4% home workforce to over 51% and growing. Thus, the major attack vectors have shifted to the cloud and weaker home-computing hygiene. This has opened doors for increased revenues and visibility among those players who secure the cloud, SaaS apps and deal with weak, remote, exposed endpoints. Learn about the winners and finalists in seven key categories and get one step ahead of the next threat with their help.
