As a company, it\u2019s essential for us to adapt to these changes, and as a result we had to let six of our team members go. We are immensely grateful for their hard work and dedication, and we\u2019re committed to supporting them as they transition to new roles,\u201d Stamos told TechCrunch in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019re enthusiastic about the future and continuing our mission of securing some of the world\u2019s most significant companies.\u201d<\/p>\n In April, the firm had 18 employees \u2014 including the founders \u2014 according to an archived version<\/a> of its website. On Thursday, the site shows only 14 team members.<\/p>\n The layoffs at a relatively small consulting firm show, once again, that the cybersecurity industry is not immune to the seemingly endless string of layoffs at tech companies. On May 3, cybersecurity firm Bishop Fox laid off around 50 employees<\/a>, just days after throwing a party at RSA, one of the world\u2019s biggest cybersecurity conferences. Last year, Patreon laid off five people<\/a> from its cybersecurity team.<\/p>\n The layoffs were a surprise to some.<\/p>\n \u201cIt came as a shock to everyone. I know I was shocked when I heard the news,\u201d a former employee told TechCrunch. \u201cI thought there was a lot of work in the pipeline.\u201d<\/p>\n Last year, (ISC)\u00b2<\/a>, a nonprofit association for \u201cinformation security leaders\u201d predicted that cybersecurity would be spared by the wave of mass layoffs, because cybersecurity teams \u201cwill be the least affected by staff reductions, as organizations anticipate an increase in cyber threats in 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n The threats continue, but so do the layoffs.<\/p>\n Do you have information about layoffs at other cybersecurity companies?
