We tried this week to diversify the list of new companies added to the SDxCentral Directory to avoid it by being dominated by cybersecurity companies .  As you can imagine, not only did that not work during the week of RSA, but we also have a backlog of new companies to vet over the coming weeks and months.  Even if you don't think cybersecurity is your “thing” (and it should be, because cybersecurity is a team sport that requires all of us), check out the list below for innovative companies in NaaS, artificial intelligence (AI), data center, edge, quantum and silicon.  First, a few folks asked for help navigating the directory pages, so we're adding this primer.

How to use the SDxCentral Directory for your research?

The SDxCentral Directory has always been a research tool for leaders, experts and operators (LEOs).  Based on your feedback, are have an exciting roadmap to continue to make this an indispensable resource to evaluate suppliers, partners and technologies.  While we are not ready to share specifics, you can imagine that we'll consolidate and organize more data critical to making technology and vendor selection decisions.  Today, this includes these features:

• Summary of the basic company stats:  Who, what, where, market sectors and so on.
• List of company acquisitions covered by SDxCentral.
• Links to all SDxCentral coverage about the company.
• Links to curated press releases shared on SDxCentral through are partnership with Businesswire.  These are press releases, written and provided by the company, that our AI-driven platform has identified as relevant to members.
• Links to curated security advisories identified by Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) about the company's products.  These are advisories written by the CISA that our platform has identified as meaningful for SDxCentral members
• Links to sponsored content (if any) created by SDxCentral for the company.  These are always clearly labeled as sponsored content and are available on SDxCentral for 3 -12 months after the publish date.

These pages also include links to related companies and open-source projects to further your research.  Check out our page in Fortinet directory listing for a representative example.

We did receive a question this week asking how can you update your company directory listings with a more recent logo or company description.  Currently, we do have a self-service option to update your company details, however, it is on the roadmap.  In the meantime, send me a message via LinkedIn and we'll do our best to make timely edits.

This directory of companies is a free service available to all SDxCentral members. Login or create an account to access the list.  Details for how to add your company (or update your page)  to the SDxCentral Directory are at the bottom of this article.
