MYRA SECURITY AT VIENNA EUROPEAN RESILIENCE SUMMIT
Said Paul Kaffsack, MYRA Security MD : “Europe cannot build digital sovereignty on infrastructure it does not fully control. Cyber resilience is no longer just an IT topic, it is an economic and geopolitic one. Cloud, AI, and critical infrastructure, are part of the same resilience architecture. Europe does not lack innovation. What Europe still needs is stronger sovereign and operational ecosystems.”
BRIDGERWISE DELIVERS AN IMPORTANT SURVEY ON EUROPEAN CYBERSECURITY INDUSTRY
European Cybersecurity Startups Face a Scale-Up Gap Not an Innovation Gap
Europe produces world-class cybersecurity innovation. However, many startups are not able to scale beyond their domestic markets. BridgerWise Research’s latest report on Scaling European Cybersecurity Startups shows what is the challenging reality for founders, investors, and ecosystem builders. Go-to-market is clearly the number one worry and source of obstacles for them. The research reveals that cybersecurity startups across Europe are facing an environment that goes at a different speed that in the US: the slow adoption by local customers is their biggest external issue.
But that’s not all, as they are also scaling in markets where the risk-appetite of investors and cybersecurity practitioners doesn’t support their innovation enough to compete with their U.S. counterparts. It’s a paradox, as at the same time, Europe seems to demand trusted, locally aligned cybersecurity providers driven by sovereignty concerns, regulations and growing geopolitical tensions.
The Cyber Builders that participated in the survey clearly see this as both friction and opportunity, showing that the challenge for growth in Europe was never innovation but how to find the right path to scale and succeed commercially. These are some of the conclusions that can be drawn from the survey where 75 founders and leaders from European Cybersecurity Startups and Scaleups participated.
