About this audiobook

Cybersecurity is no longer just a technical discipline — it is one of the great business stories of our time, a market where a cloud-security company five years old sells for thirty-two billion dollars and a few platforms quietly consolidate an entire industry. In The Business of Cyber Security, M&A advisor Atul Tiwary maps the whole economy: the involuntary demand manufactured by criminals and regulators; the exhausted buyer pulling the market toward consolidation; the capital stack of venture, private equity, and private credit that finances the roll-ups; and the AI shift now re-rating who captures the value. Each chapter opens on a real, dated deal and closes on a decision you can act on — whether you run a security company, invest in one, advise on one, or simply want to understand where the money goes. Clear, candid, and relentlessly practical, this is the operator's, investor's, and advisor's map to the cybersecurity decade.
