While we may see a wave of consolidation, which is expected given the amount of venture financing committed to cybersecurity in the last few years, organizations now face the decision to either raise more funding in a challenging environment as valuations normalize or seek an acquisition, as growth investors shift away due to market conditions. How will this impact the future of the market?
The cybersecurity market is prone to mergers and acquisitions. Now, businesses that did not satisfy needs will no longer survive, while those that do will thrive. Today’s rapidly changing macro environment combined with the demands of an evolving threat landscape makes this the perfect time for company building. What does the market need right now? What do customers need? How can the ecosystem adapt to serve those needs? Innovation provides solutions that expedite answers to problems, and successful businesses are built when they do this. When you look at today’s cybersecurity industry landscape, what drives innovation? In this Help Net Security interview, the former Trident Capital leader offers insight into innovation in the cybersecurity market, M&A activity, pitching to VCs, and more. This was the perfect reason to connect with Alberto Yépez, the co-founder and Managing Director of Forgepoint Capital.
Santander will also be the primary investor in Forgepoint’s next fund, slated for 2023, with a nearly $300 million goal. Recently, the Forgepoint team announced a new alliance with global banking leader Santander to increase cyber investment worldwide, specifically in Europe, Israel, and Latin America.
