Seems like a risky investment to me. A lot of customers seem to come to them to "solve their security problems". While they're cash-flow positive, it only takes one of their customers to be hacked for their reputation to vanish. I think this is mostly the reason investors don't like to invest in these type of businesses.

Will be interesting to see how this turns out in the long run. Security is definitely a problem that will only become bigger in the future.
