11 HOT STARTUPS TO WATCH AT BLACK HAT USA

A sneak peek at the up-and-coming organizations to check out on the Black Hat
USA virtual show floor.

Axis Security

Focus: Secure application access

Funding: $17M (Series A)

Founded in: 2018

Axis Security was founded by CEO Dor Knafo and CTO Gil Azrieland, both of whom
spent time in the Israeli Defense Forces' Unit 8200 for cyber warfare. The
startup has raised a total of $17 million in venture funding since its 2018
founding; most recently, it announced a $14 million Series A when it emerged
from stealth in March of this year.

The company has created a cloud-based platform for secure remote access to
private apps, including custom or legacy applications that run on-premises or in
the cloud. Its App Access Cloud grants access to a specific app rather than a
full corporate infrastructure and it's delivered as a service, meaning admins
won't have to install agents on employees' devices.

"Because VPN technology is struggling to meet the need for access to cloud-based
applications, there is an opportunity for vendors like Axis to take market share
with secure and easy-to-use alternatives," Omdia's Turner writes in a profile on
Axis Security.

Black Hat USA 2020 will look very different than it has in years past. Instead
of boarding flights to Las Vegas, the infosec community is going online to
attend from home: This year's briefings, show floor, Arsenal, breakout sessions,
and meetings will all be virtual.



This year's digital show floor will feature Startup City, where a range of
up-and-coming security companies will be exhibiting their newest technologies.
Many of these organizations focus on tools that have become essential as
businesses secure a growing number of remote employees.

Many businesses paused on spending during the COVID-19 pandemic, and
cybersecurity was no exception. Security budgets and market growth froze as
spending came under intense scrutiny. Organizations spent slightly less on
endpoint security and more on cloud-based services, some cloud security tools,
and some remote access technologies and automated security offerings.

"As for startups generally, there seems to be a fairly healthy crop of new
companies in a range of areas within security," says Rik Turner, principal
analyst with Omdia's IT Security and Technology team. "Endpoint security went
through a busy period a few years back but seems to have calmed down of late,"
he adds, noting the acquisitions could be linked to consolidation.



Still, 2020 has been a rough year for the security startup market. Early stage
investment fell by more than 37% in the first half of 2020; however, some new
companies are generating interest with tools that help secure employees working
from home. Investors are eyeing technologies that protect workers from threats
that may target them outside traditional corporate offices.

"We're all working remotely for the most part, saving money on real estate but
also relying on the security infrastructure of a lot of individuals' homes,
which is outside the purview of control of organizations," says Omdia senior
cybersecurity analyst Tanner Johnson.

Many of the startups exhibiting in Black Hat's Startup City are building
technologies that will become increasingly relevant as more employees swap their
corporate offices for home offices. Read on to learn more about which startups
to watch on this year's virtual show floor.
