Published by ProCloser Research · Reviewed by Aaron Whittaker, Founder Published September 10, 2026 | Updated October 12, 2026 Deal data as of October 12, 2026

What changed in October 2026: added a new FAQ on cross-border deal share and refreshed the tracked deal counts from the ProCloser Tech M&A Deal Index.

The data answer

The ProCloser Tech M&A Deal Index tracked 148 cybersecurity acquisitions announced in 2026, each documented to a public source. 22 disclosed a price; the median disclosed value is $125M. That median describes the visible top of the market, because disclosure skews toward large transactions. What your company is worth depends on the drivers below, and the honest way to estimate it is against real comparable deals plus your own numbers in the valuation calculator.

Cybersecurity buyers underwrite the product, the research team and the company's own security posture at once. Platform consolidation drove most 2026 activity, with large vendors buying capability gaps, so the valuation question is usually which platform needs what you have and how badly.

How to get a real estimate

Three steps beat any rule of thumb. First, run your revenue, EBITDA and sector through the ProCloser valuation calculator for an indicative range. Second, look at actual comparable transactions in the deal index rather than survey multiples. Third, remember that the spread between a bilateral offer and a competitive process is usually larger than the spread between valuation methods; our advisor rankings cover who runs those processes for companies like yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average sale price of a cybersecurity company in 2026?

Across 148 tracked 2026 cybersecurity acquisitions in the ProCloser Tech M&A Deal Index, 22 disclosed a price, with a median disclosed value of $125M. Treat that number carefully: companies that disclose skew large and public. Most founder-scale deals never publish a price, so the true market median sits well below the disclosed one.

Who buys cybersecurity companies?

In tracked 2026 transactions, strategic acquirers accounted for roughly 89% of cybersecurity deals with an identified buyer type, with private equity taking most of the rest. 35 of the 148 tracked deals crossed a border, so a well-run process usually includes foreign buyers.

Which cybersecurity acquisitions had the highest disclosed price in 2026?

In the ProCloser Tech M&A Deal Index, the largest disclosed cybersecurity prices through Oct 12, 2026 were Wiz, bought by Google for $32B; Armis, bought by ServiceNow for $7.75B; Dragos, bought by Accenture for $4.17B. 22 of 148 tracked cybersecurity deals (15%) disclosed any price, so these describe the top of the market, not a typical sale.

Why do disclosed deal values overstate what typical companies sell for?

Because disclosure is selective. Press releases publish prices when a public company, large sponsor or regulator requires it, which concentrates disclosure among the biggest transactions. Founder-scale deals routinely close without a published number. Any median built on disclosed values describes the visible top of the market, not the middle.

How many 2026 cybersecurity deals crossed a border?

35 of the 148 tracked 2026 cybersecurity acquisitions involved a buyer or seller headquartered in a different country, 24% of the tracked set. A cross-border share that high means a seller who limits outreach to domestic buyers is skipping a meaningful slice of the realistic buyer pool.
