The largest, most direct, most analyst-driven cyber market. Big budgets, board-level pressure, cyber insurance as a control-setting force, and litigation risk as a quiet co-buyer. Direct enterprise sales dominate at the top of the market; channel becomes central below $50K ACV.
Low-to-medium for enterprise; high for mid-market and SMB. MSP and MSSP density is the highest in the world. Marketplace adoption is now standard for enterprise procurement.
Medium. Vendor security review, BAAs, and data-residency questions are routine but well-documented. Most enterprise buyers can run a procurement cycle in 60–90 days when they want to.
Treating the US as one market. The federal segment buys nothing like commercial enterprise. The west-coast SaaS buyer behaves nothing like the southeast manufacturer. Sub-segment before going to market.
For non-US vendors: open a US sales presence early or partner with a US-headquartered MSSP that already has the references and the field motion. The analyst relationships (Gartner, Forrester) matter more here than anywhere else.
