• After a decade or so, most other IT sectors reach
  some technology maturity and status. But the
  cybersecurity sector is unique in that the
  technology can never mature because adversaries
  are constantly evolving. Incumbent security
  vendors must continue to respond, and MA
  acquisition is one of the ways they stay on the
  leading edge of the innovation curve. VCs and PEs
  that see this exit potential continue to fuel new
  startups.
• According to Gary Guseinov's work, both the
  sell-side and the buy-side of the MA
  market. Here are the structural trends that drive

• More than a decade of VC and PE investments has
  created a bounty of security startups.
• Walk the aisles at the RSA Conference, and you'll
  see them. Many of these funded startups are
  essentially built for acquisition in that they
  are more focused on developing "features" than
  becoming fully baked companies. It means the
  funding glut and proliferation are driving
  industry consolidation via MA.
• According to Gary Guseinov, structural drivers in
  the cybersecurity sector ensure that new startups
  will continue to get funded.
• These companies use M MA to acquire existing
  customer bases and future revenue streams, which
  creates investor confidence and stable stock
  prices for them.
