A failing cybersecurity market is contributing to ineffective performance of cybersecurity technology, a Debate Security research reveals.

Trust in technology to deliver on its promises is low, and yet when asked how organizations evaluate cybersecurity technology efficacy and performance, there was not a single common definition.

As a result, vendors are incentivized to focus on other product features, and on marketing, deprioritizing cybersecurity technology efficacy - one of several classic signs of a "Market for lemons".

Overcoming first-mover disadvantages will be critical to fixing the broken cybersecurity technology market.

"As a technologist and developer of cybersecurity products, I really feel for cybersecurity professionals who are faced with significant challenges when trying to select effective technologies," said Henry Harrison, CSO of Garrison Technology.
