Acquisitions come from SecurityWeek's monthly M&A round-ups from 2021 onwards, from Cybersecurity Ventures' quarterly M&A reports for 2020, and a few from Wikipedia lists. Funding rounds from 2022 onwards come from Return on Security's weekly Security, Funded newsletter. These are dated to the month. A few deals added from the news are dated to the day. Smaller deals may be missing. Each Report link goes to the announcement or story the source cites, and the via link to the round-up or newsletter issue. Amounts are in US dollars. The category is what the bought or funded company sells.
