Topics covered:

  • 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?
