If it’s true that Thoma Bravo is once again exploring a SailPoint IPO, a few things need to happen for the exit to succeed. On the surface, this move seems like it's defying the odds for a normal four-to-seven year private equity holding period. It's defying the odds of the current IPO window, too. There hasn't been a traditional IPO for a pure cybersecurity company for over 1,000 days (and counting). Current market conditions are anything but favorable, at least for anyone other than the crème de la crème of the IPO pipeline. SailPoint is anything but typical, though. I'm not convinced they even needed to go private in the first place, but here we are. News of an impending IPO is exciting to anyone who (a) likes SailPoint, and (b) wants this IPO drought for our industry to end. This is far from a done deal, but it's credible enough to do some educated speculation about what it might take for SailPoint to go public again and stay there this time. My latest article is about the metrics, narrative, and alternatives that could lead to a second SailPoint IPO. You can read more by following the link on my profile.

Enjoyed reading this post from CISA Director, Jen Easterly on the USDA's adoption of FIDO Protocols, referencing the CISA's publication from the 20th: "USDA’s success story should inspire all enterprises to migrate to FIDO authentication". Referencing the CISA publication: "Authentication technologies that do not involve FIDO or public key infrastructure (PKI)—a security framework based on public key cryptography—to support confidentiality and integrity will only continue to put organizations at risk by allowing malicious cyber actors initial access to their networks via credential phishing attacks."

Will AI curb cyberattacks or will it give rise to more? While there are many speculations, there is no definitive answer to this question yet. But one thing is for sure, there is drastic change coming up as AI implementations widen. Most CISOs and IT Security teams are expecting technology vendors to reduce complexity and make cyberattack prevention more simple. That's easier said than done. Chuck Brooks and Chandrashekhar are joining me on our upcoming talk on SecPod Webcasts, where we're going to talk about: - AI and its current impact on vulnerability management - How to stop future cyber attacks with AI - Leveraging AI with SecPod's CVEM framework to secure IT Reserve your slot: https://lnkd.in/gxAetjFq See you soon!
