Public cybersecurity companies are fueling consolidation across the cybersecurity space.
We are seeing a rise in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) of cybersecurity companies.
In fact, cybersecurity M&A activity increased by ~50% between 2016 and 2018, driven in part by the industry’s biggest publicly-traded companies.
Recent deals include Palo Alto Networks’ acquisition of PureSec in May 2019, for example, and Sophos’ acquisition of Rook Security in June 2019, among others.
