March - 2016 issue > 20 Most Promising Networking and Security Companies - 2016  



Since time immemorial, networking and security are seen as the major bloodlines for any business. With the advent of technologies like IoT and Cloud Computing, massive amounts of data is being generated each day as a result of the complex networking involved in these processes. As most of this data contains sensitive information like password credentials, bank details or other personal details, the question raised as to how secure was this user data. Sensing the humongous opportunity that lay open, a large number of security companies took birth in a quick span of time, clamoring for a piece of this sumptuous market.

With time, networking and security have walked hand-in-hand and evolved by mammoth proportions. On the other hand, the cyber criminals have also honed and toned their attack mechanisms in continuous coordination with these latest technologies. Resultantly, the businesses, despite having an in-house security team had to search for external network security solution providers who can efficiently prevent/detect & neutralize data breaches if any. Although this was seen as a positive development, the enormity of the number of players in the domain pushed the companies into a dilemma as to which company should they entrust their organization’s sensitive user data to.
