Joseph Munda and Walid Elmekki spotlight several CSV vendors that are making significant strides with solutions tailored to meet the needs of #lifescience companies.

Howard Smith and Liam Moran share key takeaways from the 2024 RSA Conference and industry discussions. The strong attendance, with over 41,000 participants, highlights the sector's ongoing vitality. Despite concerns about best-of-breed #cybersecurity solutions, robust demand for both these and single-vendor platform solutions is evident and expected to persist. While M&A and financing remain strong, it's crucial to align strategies with probable exit valuations. This year #ArtificialIntelligence was an even hotter topic, with most companies adding AI to existing solutions and a growing number developing native #AI solutions.

Recent surveys indicate a significant rise in fraudulent activities in apartment #leasing, driven by consumer financial stress from the long-term housing shortage and consequent housing inflation in the United States. According to the National Multifamily Housing Council, over 70% of #multifamily property owners reported increased fraudulent applications and payments, and traditional credit scores, which fail to capture current financial stress and do not verify income, have proven inadequate. In their latest report, Terry Kiwala, CFA and Walid Elmekki discuss the growth of alternative #credit qualification platforms that use extensive #consumerdata sources to provide a more accurate assessment of tenants' ability to pay and profile 12 companies leading this innovative approach.

The pandemic has accelerated #e-commerce growth, making it an attractive target for a shadow industry that uses #scalper #bots to siphon sales from legitimate sites, resulting in consumer frustration, lost sales and reputational damage.

David Gearhart and Marta Mikos' latest report profiles several of these solutions in four major categories.

Howard Smith and Liam Moran present our annual analysis of publicly traded, #enterprise-focused #cybersecurity firm performance. ▪ Revenue growth: 2023 aggregate revenue grew 18.4%, substantially slower than 2022's 26.5% growth and 2021's 24.3% growth. ▪ Guidance and revenue performance: Average revenue growth was 16.4%, somewhat below 2023 initial guidance for 18.5% growth on average; initial 2024 growth guidance is only 13.5% on average. ▪ Sector highlights: Revenue growth slowdown may reflect a growing investor demand for profitability. Investors may view this shift as limiting the sector’s long-term potential. However, we remain optimistic the market will continue to be open to many winners, including smaller companies. ▪ Notable transactions: Key M&A activities include the acquisitions of ZeroFox and Avalor Technologies For the complete analysis, download the report: https://lnkd.in/gP4VxR2j
