Company mission

To provide a connecting layer to unite security data silos and enable teams to build data-native security and compliance programs.

Our take

The frequency and severity of cybersecurity attacks has shot up as the number of attack surfaces for companies grows. This has led to a flurry of new cybersecurity software and tools, resulting in critical security insights and data being siloed off in numerous different databases.

To combat the operational issues and security risks arising from this siloing, data cloud platform Monad offers a platform through which companies can extract and manage data from across their different security tools. Once aggregated, it can offer additional insights and overview capabilities - giving a better overall view of risk.

Monad's offering is rather unique in the space, and is anticipated to see strong uptake. Conceived and developed by cybersecurity veterans with extensive experience in the enterprise space, the company offers a solution to an ever-increasing issue, and as such has a highly lucrative market opportunity within its grasp.
