Stellar Startup Security Technology Vendors To Know In 2025
Cyberattacks today are relentless and businesses are demanding the latest defensive weapons to fight back. With the methods used by the attackers becoming increasingly sophisticated, the technology used to fight off attacks must rapidly evolve to stay one step ahead of the bad guys. As part of CRN’s Stellar Startups for 2025, here are 45 security startups, founded in 2019 or later, that are developing leading-edge cybersecurity technology that solution providers should be aware of.
Staying Ahead Of The Bad Guys
Business IT systems continue to face unrelenting – and ever evolving – cybersecurity attacks including malware and ransomware, phishing scams, denial of service attacks and data theft. All this while the vulnerable “attack surface” for cyberattacks has expanded with the expansion of hybrid/multi-cloud computing, the growth of ecommerce platforms, the proliferation of IoT and mobile devices, the move to remote work, and—most recently—the rapidly growing number of deployed AI agents.
This year a number of high-visibility cyberattacks and data breaches have made headlines including attacks against Ivanti’s widely used Connect Secure VPN disclosed in January, a wave of widespread attacks in July against on-premises Microsoft SharePoint servers through exploitation of zero-day vulnerabilities, and a ransomware and data theft attack against distributor Ingram Micro that disrupted its online ordering system – and many solution providers that rely on it – for nearly a week.
With so many high-profile security incidents making headlines, cybersecurity is top-of-mind for many IT managers. And that’s driving demand for cybersecurity solutions from solutions providers and strategic service providers.
The global cybersecurity market is estimated to be $227.6 billion this year and, growing at a CAGR of 9.1 percent, will reach $351.9 billion by 2030, according to a MarketsandMarkets report.
As with much of the IT industry today, AI is having a major impact on the security sector. The rapid deployment of AI applications and agents is providing new attack vectors for bad actors—who are themselves increasingly utilizing AI to improve attack effectiveness. Meanwhile, security tech developers—especially many startups—are building sophisticated AI capabilities into their products to provide businesses and organizations with more effective defenses.
While many businesses and organizations rely on systems and software from established cybersecurity vendors for protection, some of the most innovative offerings for battling increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks comes from startups who are pushing the boundaries of what cybersecurity technology can do.
All this means that cybersecurity presents a major opportunity for solution providers, MSPs and strategic service providers.
As part of CRN’s Stellar Startups for 2025, here are 45 security technology startups, founded in 2019 or later, that solution providers should get to know. The following slides include lightly edited company and product descriptions provided by the startups.
