Cybersecurity Startups Brace for Buyout Bonanza as Faith in Software Fizzles
In a twist of cyber-irony, cybersecurity startups are hitting a firewall in growth, pushing them towards desperate buyouts. Record investments? No match for the skepticism surge. Next up: bargain-bin buyouts, with Wiz’s cut-price Lacework bid setting the scene for a Silicon Valley clearance sale.

Hot Take:
It seems the cybersecurity market is having its own version of "The Hunger Games," minus the charm of Jennifer Lawrence. As companies tighten their belts and give the stink eye to cybersecurity software, startups are left playing musical chairs with potential buyouts. Wiz waving a less-than-glamorous $200 million at Lacework, once a billion-dollar baby, sounds like a Black Friday deal gone cyber! It's like finding out your diamond ring is actually cubic zirconia – ouch.
