Our take
The global cybersecurity market has grown significantly in recent years, due to a rise in cyber attacks and the popularity of e-commerce. BlueVoyant is a cybersecurity services company which aims to defend organisations against the sophisticated threats of today’s Internet.
The company faces a huge amount of competition in the space, with many well-known companies involved in cyber security, such as McAfee Security Services, OneNeck IT Solutions, CompuData, and Cybriant. However, BlueVoyant's growing capabilities make it an attractive option for clients wanting a comprehensive security system. Through a dynamic process that forensically sifts through every participant in a supply chain to identify all vulnerabilities, it offers a far more personalised service than other security firms currently do.
The global cybersecurity market is valued at over $150 billion and is expected to grow around 10% annually. BlueVoyant has raised significant funding, some of which has been used to amass talent from a number of prestigious government organizations such as the NSA, FBI, GCHQ. The company hopes that growing its pool of great talent will make it a disruptive player in the industry.
