Averting the SaaS Apocalypse with Simon Taylor

<p>It&#39;s not a matter of <strong>if</strong>, it&#39;s a matter of <strong>when</strong>.</p> <p>If you&#39;ve never been the victim of a cyberattack or a data breach, the chances are that you will be soon.</p> <p>Ranging from simple phishing emails to elaborate and highly-coordinated campaigns to steal government secrets, the severity of cyberattacks all across the globe is intensifying.</p> <p>And the need to for best-in-class security vendors -- to proactively protect you before an &quot;oh shoot&quot; moment occurs -- has never been greater.</p> <p>Yet how do we know who to trust? There are also thousands of cybersecurity providers who offer services to protect against cybercrime.</p> <p>That ranges from small startups with a clever idea, to independent corporations like <strong>CrowdStrike</strong> (Nasdaq: CRWD) or <strong>SentinelOne</strong> (NYSE: S) who leaders in their niche, to consolidated behemoths like <strong>Microsoft</strong>  (Nasdaq: MSFT) and <strong>Palo Alto Networks </strong>(Nasdaq: PANW) with a full suite of products.</p> <p>There&#39;s an massive pool of vendors to choose from. According to research from <strong>Cisco </strong>(Nasdaq: CSC), 13% of companies are working with at least 20 different vendors for cybersecurity alone.</p> <p>So how should companies differentiate themselves in this crowded field? What dangerous security vulnerabilities still aren&#39;t yet adequately protected against? And how should investors figure out which publicly-traded companies to put their money behind?</p> <p>To help us answer those questions, we’ve brought in an expert. 7investing CEO Simon Erickson recently spoke with Simon Taylor, who is the founder and CEO of <a href="https://www.hycu.com/">HYCU</a>, about how to tune out the noise and look for the true winners in this space.</p> <p><br></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/7investing/message
