8 Cloud Security Execs Reveal The Startups They're Most Excited About

The Leaders Of Tomorrow

Eight security CEOs, sales executives and technical leaders spoke with CRN about which startup or startups they believe are driving the most dynamic change that's relevant to cloud security.

Some security leaders flagged identity management or data encryption firms as the most innovative companies in the cloud security space given the need to protect data once it leaves a company's perimeter, run transactions on encrypted data, and provision and de-provision accounts for SaaS applications.

Other executives favored startups focused on cutting-edge technologies like delivering vulnerability and runtime analysis around containers and identifying new classes of threats and attacks in serverless architectures.

As part of CRN's Cloud Security Week 2018, here's a look at the startups that cloud security leaders are expecting to make waves in the months and years ahead.
