The technology industry has changed a lot over the past 10 years with the move from on-prem systems to the cloud. With that came new types of challenges from a privacy and security perspective. Controlling access to data was no longer just about putting up a firewall, but you needed to know who and what was accessing the data at all times for audit purposes. Authorization models had to adapt and become flexible to support more fine-grained access.

With new challenges comes new opportunities. There's been a growth in startups focused on developing solutions that help companies address privacy and security challenges. Privacy is shifting left and becoming an engineering effort. Additionally, there's an increased interest in venture funding available to companies attacking these privacy and security challenges.
