More UK security firms included on latest Cybersecurity 500 list
Summary
UK security firms have boosted their presence on the latest US-compiled Cybersecurity 500, lifting their numbers from a paltry 11 in February to 20 in March. Britain’s representation in February started with Swivel Secure in 197th place, with BAE Systems, Avecto, Boldon James, Mega AS, Protectimus, Sophos, Digital Shadows, BT, Acunetix, and Burp for company lower down. These names are still on the list in March but have been joined by new entrants Silobreaker, Smoothwall, Acuity, Darktrace, Portswigger, Wandera, SentryBay, Citicus, Clearswift, and CenterTools. One might argue about CenterTools (which has a German HQ and a Cambridge centre) but the growing representation of UK cybersecurity is good news. The top ten are FireEye, Lancope, AlienVault, Norse, Easy Solutions, AVG, RSA, IBM, Veracode and BT, in that order.
