We trust the Internet to interact more deeply with our lives than ever before. From buying and selling online through ecommerce, to connecting countless household devices to the internet of things, to artificial intelligence driving our cars, many of our daily tasks depend on devices with online capabilities to work.

Our increasing reliance on connected devices has come with the need to protect our devices and ourselves from threats and attackers. Cyber crimes are growing at a rate of approximately 15% every year. To go back to the example of cars, more connected vehicles and safety features make a car more electronic, and therefore more susceptible to cyber-attacks.

The cybersecurity market has been growing rapidly to match these threats. It’s projected to grow from $155B this year to over $376B by 2029.

GeoComply is a geolocation company that protects users against location fraud by verifying their true digital identity. They boast a 99.6% accuracy in VPN determination and an ID verification rate of over 90%.

[HUMAN] is a cybersecurity company dedicated to protecting enterprises from bot attacks, keeping their digital experiences human. They verify the humanity of over 10T interactions per week, so it’s no surprise that they’re growing. Earlier this year, they raised 100M in growth funding.

If you want to work in an industry making the internet safer for all, take a look at these 5 cutting edge cybersecurity companies hiring now.

Security in the Skies: 5 High Altitude Balloon and Satellite Startups Hiring Now

Nearly nine decades after the Hindenburg disaster, some speculate we’re entering the Second Age of the Balloon. “As all these objects fall, a new space race is rising,” Vox (https://www.vox.com/world/2023/2/7/23588464/suspect-spy-china-balloon-sputnik-moment-space-race) proclaimed. Tens of thousands of balloons float into near-space every year, and the numbers rise every year. The National Weather Service alone launches around 60k high-flying balloons each year. The Pentagon spent nearly $4B over the past two years on its own high altitude balloons, according to Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/05/u-s-militarys-newest-weapon-against-china-and-russia-hot-air-00043860). Why the interest in such old-school tech? “They’re cheap, easy to transport, can be fielded in large numbers and are payload agnostic,” industry expert George Howell wrote. Tucson, Arizona-based World View (https://spacenews.com/world-view-emphasizes-remote-sensing-as-it-prepares-to-go-public/), a stratospheric ballooning company, last month announced plans to go public via SPAC merger. The company develops a “stratollite” that provides high-res imagery for extended periods. (The company also offer space tourism.) Colorado-based Urban Sky (/company/urban-sky) is creating what it claims as the first ever reusable stratospheric balloon. Called “micro-balloons,” they’re the size of a VW bus and can hover in near space to collect data over urban areas. Company founder Jared Leidich (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/04_fm2017-alan-eustaces-jump-1-180961678/) has some chops in this arena, having designed the space suit used in the world record space dive in 2014 via a balloon at nearly 136k feet. Near Space Labs (/company/nearspacelabs) invites people to “step inside a new way of thinking about all things geospatial imaging (https://nearspacelabs.com/blog/).” The company's high-altitude balloons that carry a small, autonomous robot called Swifty to capture the world around them at 60k to 85k feet in the air. The company says it’s done zero carbon emissions and recently launched (https://www.zdnet.com/article/near-space-labs-provide-free-high-resolution-imagery-to-universities-nonprofits/) a program to make its high-resolution Earth imagery available to universities and nonprofits for free. Sounds fascinating, right? Luckily, with a new wave of space technology, comes a brand new, cutting-edge wave of jobs. Check out 5 top startups aiming skywards and hiring now.
