Investment in Cybersecurity Start-ups

When life gives you lemons, buy a juicer. That’s what companies are doing in the face of ever-increasing cyber threats. Data-driven businesses that demand the latest, greatest cybersecurity tools are investing in cybersecurity start-ups whose products they also use.
