Cybersecurity Unicorns Are Back, the Okta Breach Is Bad, & Don’t Invest in Startups – ESW #337

This week, we discuss Island's raise, unicorn status, and what that means for both the enterprise browser market and the cybersecurity market in general. We discuss Censys and the state of the external attack surface management market, or what they're trying to call, "exposure management". We discuss the details of the Okta breach in depth, and why we're worried about the larger impact it could have on the industry and vendor trust in general. Finally, we wrap up with some fun squirrel stories.
