Hot Take:

It seems that "unicorns" in the cybersecurity industry are starting to look more like donkeys with party hats. IronNet, once a shining star in the cybersecurity sphere, recently declared bankruptcy. Some industry leaders predict this trend might snowball into an avalanche. Apparently, overestimating growth potential and being underprepared for debt management is a one-way ticket to Bankruptcy Town. Oh, and let's not forget the pesky tool sprawl issue, turning cybersecurity into an expensive game of whack-a-mole.
