Cybersecurity Market Driven by Survival of the Fittest
Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, introduced in 1859 in ‘On the Origin of Species,’ focused on natural selection—which evolved into the well-known phrase “survival of the fittest.” Applying that to the cybersecurity industry means that only some businesses can compete in the modern cybersecurity landscape and survive the natural selection, and that might not be such a bad thing.
Cybersecurity companies that can’t adapt to the pressures of new threats may slowly dwindle away. Small cybersecurity companies may not be able to survive in an industry driven by larger competitors, panelists said at a recent Center for Strategic & International Studies event in Washington.
