Hot 30 Israeli Cybersecurity Companies To Watch in 2021 Announced by Cybercrime Magazine

Israel, the world’s second largest exporter of cyber technology, features 30 companies on the Hot 150 list who have their R&D based in Israel.””
— Steve Morgan, Editor-in-Chief at Cybercrime Magazine
SAUSALITO, CA, UNITED STATES, January 13, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Thousands of startups have been formed over the past decade to focus on combating cybercrime, which is expected to cost the world $6 trillion annually in 2021 — up from $3 trillion in 2015.

The second annual list of the Hot 150, compiled by Cybersecurity Ventures, recognizes the most innovative companies in the cybersecurity market. The list consists of pure-play companies focused exclusively or primarily on cybersecurity. All companies earn their spot based on merit, there is no “pay-to-play,” no cost to apply or to be listed.

The list can be seen at Cybersecurity150.com.

"There are 116 companies with headquarters in the U.S., and 34 with international (non-U.S.) headquarters" says Steve Morgan, founder of Cybersecurity Ventures and Editor-in-Chief at Cybercrime Magazine.

"There are 30 companies in total who have their research and development based in Israel, a cybersecurity powerhouse and the world’s second largest exporter of cyber technology" adds Morgan. Out of the companies listed, 16 have their corporate headquarters in the U.S., presumably to be in closer proximity to venture capital and major customers.

Israel is considered a world leader in the cybersecurity business, and approximately 25 percent of all global investments in cybersecurity go to Israel, according to an article in The Jewish Press – the largest independent weekly Jewish newspaper in the United States – which states Israel's rise as one of the world’s leaders in cybersecurity has been boosted by cooperation between the military, government, education and private sectors, a level of partnership unmatched in the Western world.

The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the need for cybersecurity. "Security leaders and teams were struggling before the new norm to keep up with the evolving cyber threat landscape" says Eyal Benishti , founder and CEO at Tel Aviv based IRONSCALES, developers of a self-learning email security platform. "Today’s scattered workforce and perimeter makes it even harder."

Cybersecurity Ventures expects Israeli companies will push the envelope around remote workforce security – now a must have solution – in 2021.

The selection criteria for inclusion on the 2021 list includes (some but on all of these for each company): Market category; problem solved; feedback from CISOs and security leaders; venture capital raised; founder and management pedigree; executive management and key staff; annual growth (revenue and employees); customer base and notable wins; channel programs; published reviews; media coverage; research and reports published; and other.
