Summary List Placement Building security into software and application development is a hot trend. How hot? PitchBook, the investment analysis firm, pegs it as an $11.6 billion sector – bigger than what's known as "endpoint protection," the massive security market that protects PCs, laptops and smartphones. And Ted Schlein, the longtime cybersecurity investor and general partner at revered VC Kleiner Perkins, is excited about the possibilities. "I have spent 35 years trying to get at the root cause of cybersecurity issues," he told Business Insider in an interview. Now Schlein thinks he's found a winner in Apiiro, which the VC helped launch out of stealth on Tuesday with a $35 million Series A of venture investment. The Israeli startup helps software developers ensure the applications and products they are building will be free from security vulnerabilities down the road. The Apiiro platform uses machine learning programs to learn how computer code will perform when connected with other code – and automatically addresses any security issues.

Summary List Placement Analysts are crowing about Twilio's plan, announced Monday, to acquire the customer data analytics company Segment for $3.2 billion, because they say it could help the cloud communications company take on giants like Microsoft, Adobe, SAP, and Salesforce. Twilio has long been a hit with developers building apps that allow users to make phone calls or send text messages or emails within the app – for example, Uber and Lyft use Twilio to help drivers and passengers communicate. By buying Segment, the firm is diving into a the customer relationship management space. "This will help Twilio grow further," said Mizuho managing director Siti Panigrahi, who described the deal as "transformational." Overall, analysts agree that the acquisition, expected to close in the fourth quarter of the year, is a smart move for Twilio , because Segment would give it the ability to better understand its customers and make decisions based on this data. This would be Twilio's largest acquisition to-date (it previously acquired the email marketing platform SendGrid for $2 billion) and its stock price rose 6% following the news, giving it a market cap of nearly $50 billion.

Google should have set a list of app store principles before Microsoft did, instead of embracing Apple's 30% tax on in-app purchases.

Summary List Placement Apple has been hit with a lawsuit that accuses the tech giant of monopolizing the mobile game market, as Bloomberg first reported . The complaint, filed Thursday in federal court by an Apple Arcade subscriber, alleges that Apple has been keeping direct competing subscription gaming services from the likes of Microsoft, Google, and Facebook off of iOS. Apple said in August that it doesn't allow competitors like Microsoft's Netflix-style Xbox Game Pass and Google's Stadia on its App Store because the company can't review every game in their libraries. For example, Microsoft's subscription service comes with a built-in library of games, and reviewing each one would be a time-consuming, tedious process. It would be like Netflix needing Apple to sign off on every movie listed on its platform, as Business Insider's Ben Gilbert reported. Apple's Arcade service, however, is the company's subscription gaming service that is built similarly, with a library of games that people can download from the App Store and play across their devices.
