He also commented, “Ask any CIO, CEO or board member of a public company and that was the year that everyone woke up [and] figured their careers were at risk. It should have happened before, but it took the Equifax breach… they realized this thing is real and it can have a career-altering impact on their work and personal life.”
“We started this company so that we could use cutting-edge machine learning algorithms to automatically and comprehensively measure the security and attack surface, and to produce relevant insights for all stakeholders. You look at the numbers and you could easily have hundreds of millions or tens of billions of data points to watch for vulnerabilities- you have to make sure they are OK.” he added.
