Security Status Quo Changing

One thing that is clear from 2016 is that the security status quo is in for a shakeup – big time – with big-name vendors showing shaky earnings and startups moving into the incumbent territory. That has led to some infighting in the space, with big-name vendors and startups facing off with sharp words about why their technology is better than their competitors. However, the rise of a new wave of startups has also catalyzed big, drastic changes at some of the biggest vendors in security, including Symantec, Intel Security, FireEye and more. Who will win out in the end? That remains to be seen.
