12 SaaS Startups in the Network Security Industry

January 24, 2023

SaaS startups have become the darling of Venture Capital investors, especially in the Network Security industry. Over the past decade, software has proverbially “eaten the world” and SaaS companies have scaled to become unicorn corporations in staggering amounts of time.

In this article, we are examining 12 VC funded SaaS startups in the Network Security industry.

42Crunch

The digital enterprise's nervous system is comprised of APIs. Businesses are moving forward at full speed, developing new agile apps based on APIs to broaden their reach, encourage innovation, and interact with their clients, associates, partners, and developers. These new apps are frequently constructed using orchestrations of already-existing partner APIs, public (SaaS) APIs, and internal APIs. While every business is trying to get ahead of the competition and roll out new apps quickly, the security needs are sometimes disregarded or treated as an afterthought. At best, security only covers authentication and authorisation; nevertheless, this is insufficient to cover the entire range of API security concerns. The development, testing, and deployment security needs of API infrastructure are met by 42Crunch, the only enterprise-grade, complete API security platform.

In the security industry, Netography® has developed the first network-centric platform that restores capabilities that have been destroyed by the combined effects of encryption and atomized networks.

For teams in enterprise security operations centers (SOC) and cloud operations that require scalable, continuous network visibility throughout the Atomized Network, including environments in legacy, on-premises, hybrid, multi-cloud, and edge, there is Netography Fusion®. These teams can see what users, applications, data, and devices are doing and experiencing thanks to the Netography Fusion platform, which gives them visibility and control over network traffic and context across people, applications, data, and devices. Security for the Atomized Network® is solely provided by Netography.
