“These 10 vendors come from completely different backgrounds; some have been acquired, others have acquired smaller vendors, and a few have remained their own enterprise,” writes Analyst Christian Kane. “Despite their contrasting history, there is a shared focus on two initiatives: enterprise mobility and security.
