As we look back at 2019 at Axonius, it simultaneously feels like January was a lifetime ago and 30 seconds ago. The company we are today is unrecognizable from where we were at the beginning of the year, and rather than going by feeling, we decided to look at the irrefutable numbers to quantify the year.
