Cybersecurity vendors

Acquired by Google. Wiz is the leader in having an all-in-one cloud security platform by expanding into CTEM, ASPM, and Runtime capabilities all within a single dashboard. Their posture and vulnerability capabilities remain the strongest, but their Code and Defend offerings are competitive in their own right.

Aikido provides everything the average startup to mid-market company needs for security in a box - every code and cloud security scanner under the sun without much feature compromise, alongside a surprisingly robust runtime application solution for things like bot prevention. A no-nonsense replacement for a lot of more "specialized" solutions that tend to slow developers down.

Oligo Security offers application layer insights as part of a CADR platform. They baseline application library activities at a function level, and can detect either malicious deviation, or the execution of known vulnerable functions. This extends into AI, allowing them to see, detect, and respond to AI applications.

Cloudflare is the traditional leader in API for good reason. They offer great in depth protection that is quick to respond to threats. The platform has grown overly complex for simple use cases.

Exaforce is building an AI first SOC platform that can serve as an augment to your existing SOC via agentic capabilities, a SIEM replacement or augment via its data lake, as well as offering MDR capabilities via a managed offering.

Upwind has built CNAPP from the ground-up around runtime insights provided from a network focused endpoint agent. They provide unique features like API security, alongside vulnerability prioritization and scanning, and the more generic CNAPP feature sets.

Cycode offers a holistic all-in-one ASPM tool with their in house scanners alongside the ability to import third party findings. They offer about every scanner and feature you could need out of an AppSec tool.

Cyera is provides a robust collection of tools for data discovery, classification, and obfuscation. They've expanded the platform via acquisition and product into AI Security and NHI capabilities, providing AI abuse detections and NHI monitoring.

AI-powered endpoint security platform that gives teams control over everything running on their endpoints so they can adopt AI safely.

Pluto is a leading AI security solution that specializes in securing endpoints and agentic building solutions like Lovable and Base44

Bloom discovers and governs AI agents, extensions, IDE plugins, and MCP servers on endpoints with contextual risk assessments.

Iru is doing a great job giving Jamf a run for their money, especially for startups and midmarket. Their platform is able to focus more on the use cases that matter for most companies, with the downside being edge requirements from advanced Jamf users.

Jamf is the long time king of apple MDM. They have a robust set of features and integrations that make them the go-to for apple device management with a rich feature set allowing a ton of customization. However, as with all enterprise software, there has also been an increase in bloat over time.

Mate provides a comprehensive AI SOC enablement platform by integrating into a company's entire data stack, building a comprehensive knowledge base, and then giving users a copilot like experience to accelerate their investigation and response capabilities

The core of Sweet Security is powerful incident detection and response capabilities for cloud environments. They have since created a larger CNAPP platform expanding more into vulnerability management, posture, and identity capabilities
