GlobalData Microsoft and Google Leading Cybersecurity M&A Activity

Entrust ICT and ZStack reach a partnership in the clouds and new jobs

The cybersecurity market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 9% during the forecast period. In 2021, enterprises invested more in cybersecurity and cloud architecture due to employees working remotely during the pandemic. This also sparked an M&A boom in the tech sector. Most cybersecurity M&A deals in 2021 were related to managed security services, network security, endpoint security, identity management, and cloud security. Microsoft, which bought cloud infrastructure company CloudKnox, threat intelligence and attack service management firm RiskIQ, and Internet of Things (IoT) security company ReFirm Labs, was one of the leading acquirers in 2021. Google added to its security capabilities by buying Mandiant (formerly FireEye), not long after purchasing threat detection firm Siemplify.
