Update: 2025-01-20
Description
Guest:
- Bob Blakley, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Mimic
Topics:
- Tell us about the ransomware problem - isn't this a bit of old news? Circa 2015, right?
- What makes ransomware a unique security problem?
- What's different about ransomware versus other kinds of malware? What do you make of the “RansomOps” take (aka “ransomware is not malware”)?
- Are there new ways to solve it?
- Is this really a problem that a startup is positioned to solve? Aren’t large infrastructure owners better positioned for this? In fact, why haven't existing solutions solved this?
- Is this really a symptom of a bigger problem? What is that problem?
- What made you personally want to get into this space, other than the potential upside of solving the problem?
