Customer demand surges for Skybox Vulnerability Management and automation capabilities
Skybox Security continues significant market share gains in the rapidly growing Vulnerability Management category. This year, Skybox reported the strongest quarter in the company’s history and achieved significant customer expansion in the critical infrastructure sector. Increasing cybersecurity regulations, digital transformation initiatives, and cloud migration fuel demand for its award-winning solutions.
The company’s tremendous growth continues due to the ever-increasing market demand for preventative cybersecurity management while expanding into new verticals and regions. New 2021 customers included Fortune 500, Global 500, major government agencies, and companies operating critical infrastructure in the energy, utilities, manufacturing, defense, and telecommunications sectors. Additionally, increasingly widespread vulnerabilities, including but not limited to Log4j, demand a heightened focus on eliminating cyber exposure ahead of an attack.
“It is important to realize that around 30% of corporate data will never be moved to the cloud due to privacy reasons. Consequently, there is a significant addressable market open to a platform that delivers on-prem and off-prem cybersecurity,” stated Shaul Eyal, Managing Director and Senior Analyst for Cybersecurity and Information Security at Cowen. “The opportunity ahead is sizeable for use cases such as vulnerability management, rule optimization, and analytics. Companies showing strength in these areas are well-positioned to emerge as market leaders.”
