Funding Highlights - Cybersecurity The network security segment has received the largest amount of funding with a total of US$4.2bn to date. However, the proliferation of smart devices has led to a rise in cyberattacks as these provide more access points (RFID, GPS, WiFi, etc.) and have historically been shipped with outdated software. And, although investments in this space have been historically low, we can expect funding to increase going forward.
