I'm intrigued by the results that came out. I would have thought that folks would be more ready to leverage startups for things like security scans / compliance scans / code scanning, as opposed to IAM, ZTNA and the like that
- have time-critical / mission-critical impacts if they fail and thus require a more mature support organization behind them (not saying that startups can't offer good support, but it can be overwhelming
- have a lot of "ecosystem" ties into a wider security mesh architecture where you typically require a broad but mostly single-vendor stack of products (particularly for ZTNA in this list).
