I truly do not agree with a lot of these. There is such a big range from home user to enterprise on here. Like Mozy? No way Jose. But some of the companies I have not heard of and do have some cool offerings such as http://www.liveops.com/ . I also think that AlertLogic should be added to the top security companies even though they are more log & threat management. I still think that they qualify and beat out half of those cloud security companies on the list above… But kind of interesting stuff.
