Anyone reading our Insights articles can see the evidence of a new wave of innovation, driven by AI, automation, edge, multicloud networking, networking-as-a-service and security. This is fueling dramatic changes in people, their roles and the technology investments they lead at enterprises, service providers and hyperscalers. It's an exciting time!

At SDxCentral, we are a lot like you — investing to innovate. Here's the latest iteration of what we aim to turn into a weekly column of the innovators being added to the SDxCentral Directory. No surprise, the last week has been dominated by cybersecurity companies oozing out of the woodwork in preparation for the upcoming RSA Conference. By no means did we capture all of the new cybersecurity companies in this list, as our data platform is sifting through more entries (spoiler alert for next week — we'll have more security companies to share).

While this week's list was dominated by cybersecurity companies, don't forget to check out the cool data center and edge companies on the list.

How is this useful to infrastructure leaders, experts and operators?

The SDxCentral Directory has always been a research tool for leaders, experts and operators (LEOs).  Based on audience feedback, we make it easier to investigate current or technology vendors.  In addition to finding articles written by SDxCentral staff, the directory pages also include press releases (where available) and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) security advisories issued for the company.  The directory identifies which companies are gaining traction by LEOs by vertical or geography — helping LEOs understand who is gaining traction with their peers.

The list of new companies added is available to SDxCentral members. Login or Create an account to access the list.  Details for how to add your company to the SDxCentral directory are at the bottom of this article.
