Shmuel Kliger is a self proclaimed old man. He was born in Israel, and served in the army for 6 years. It was in the army where he obtained his passion for the space, from which he got his bachelors, masters and eventually, his PhD. Outside of tech, he is married with 4 kids and 2 grandchildren. He met his wife during grad school, and they now live in New York. When asked what he did for fun, he laughed and said that he enjoyed living in the "best city in the world", with everything at his fingertips.

When his past venture winded down, Schmuel found himself at the center of an idea that was the culmination of all his years in technology. To build something that could not only process large amounts of observability data - but could make sense of it, and take appropriate action.

Erik Braund was born and raised in Alaska. Growing up, he played competitive hockey and built computers for his Dad's company and eventually others. He grew up with a gameboy, an electric guitar, and a love for Nirvana. He eventually upgraded his setup to a computer - which led him to setup a recording studio. He was internet obsessed from a young age, partially because it was the door to a bigger world outside of Alaska. He played in bands, started a recording studio, which eventually turned into a production company in NYC and LA, delivering AV projects for numerous clients. Erik was running his production company when COVID hit. Given people weren't doing in person projects, he started consulting and opening up his mind on how to do these types of projects remotely. He started to see a new problem, where video conferencing was not solving high connection, collaborative work. This is the creation story of Katmai .

Protegrity is AI-powered data security for data consumption, offering fine grain data protection solutions, so you can enable your data security, compliance, sharing and analytics. Episode Title: Are You Ready For the GenAI Data Frontier? Exploring GenAI Security In this episode, we talk with Anthony Cammarano , CTO & VP of Engineering, as he breaks down and simplifies GenAI for companies struggling in the new frontier. There is a flood of unstructured data pouring into workflows - thanks to GenAI - and traditional security methods aren't prepared to cover this expanded attack surface. The good news is that companies already have what they need to fix this, and it's a simple mindset shift. Questions What are some of the most common misconceptions or trends about GenAI, as it relates to data protection and privacy, that organizations face today? What are the primary business challenges facing the adoption of GenAI today? How do modern GenAI systems create data security vulnerabilities and what are the potential risks? What is crucial in the implementation of GenAI-security solutions, and how can it accelerate AI adoption? Can you provide examples of how attackers are targeting data during its use and the importance of securing this data? What are some best practices for robust data governance and how can organizations stay ahead in the rapidly evolving GenAI landscape?

Lucas Lovell grew up in Adelaide, Australia, before eventually landing where resides now, in London. He studied law, but he eventually decided that he didn't want to become a lawyer.

He also enjoys skiing, and when asked about snowboarding, he said he tried - but eventually reverted back. Four and a half years ago, Lucas joined a company solving end to end payments, while being the merchant of record.

David Young spent many years in California, but lives in Colorado Springs now. He mentioned that things outside of work are very important to him, as they are the soil from which he brings fruit to bear in his work. He's married and loving living in the Rockies. He and his wife love to ski hike and camp - but most interesting, they are both endurance athletes. They run marathons, bike rides, and triathlons - in fact, David himself has run 10, which includes a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, then a marathon - all in succession. All in one day. David noticed that that problem with SaaS today is that it's expensive, and adds up as you compile solutions. Right alongside that, open source software is free - but requires more setup and maintenance to keep it up and running. He decided that there must be a better way to purchase software, while getting the best price on a bundle of solutions. This is the creation story of Federated Computer .

Kavitta Ghai realized at an early age that she thought different than everyone else. She grew up neurodivergent, with autism and ADHD but was a lucky kid, having parents that helped her see the silver lining in her learning challenges, making sure she had outlets in extracurricular activities. She is a creative person always looking to build something that doesn't exist. In her off time, she enjoys turning off all the tech, learning a new language, and reconnecting with the real, analog world. Kavitta and her co-founder found themselves frustrated with the classroom in college. For paying such an exorbitant amount of money, they were confused why the educational classroom was so ineffective. It came to a head - to the point, where Kavitta was going to change it or drop out of school. This is the creation story of Nectir .

He enjoys business books because he likes to see how other people "did it", when it comes to their successes and failures. In 2011, Darko was running his consulting shop with 7 or 8 people. As they were developing applications, they couldn't find anything for continuous integration where you just "signed up" and it worked. That was enough for them to get out there and build it on their own. This is the creation story of Semaphore .

He built a toolkit, which eventually got the attention of Ivan. Ivan was working at Google, and one of his team members began utilizing the toolkit built by Nick.

The Gene Simmons of Data P rotection: Protegrity's KISS Method Today, we are kicking off a new series on the podcast, entitled The Gene Simmons of Data Protection - the KISS Method, brought to you by none other than Protegrity . Protegrity is AI-powered data security for data consumption, offering fine grain data protection solutions, so you can enable your data security, compliance, sharing and analytics. Episode Title: KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid): A Data Security Dilemma with James Rice In this episode, we are talking with James Rice, VP at Protegrity. He is going to help us strip away the nonsense, when it comes to securing data, and help us understand why we don't need a fortress... just a kill switch. While companies throw billions at firewalls, AI driven threat detection, and fortress like defenses - attackers still find their way in. James reminds us to keep it simple, with Protegrity's KISS Method which stands for Keep It Simple Stupid - and how when data is useless to attackers, breaches become mere inconveniences instead of existential threats. Questions: What exactly is the KISS method, and how does it apply to cybersecurity? Why are traditional cybersecurity approaches failing to stop breaches? What are some of the biggest myths about security that lead businesses to waste money on ineffective defenses? How do encryption, tokenization, and de-identification work together to make stolen data useless? Can you share an example where a company’s focus on complex security backfired, and how a simpler approach could have helped? What’s the biggest pushback you hear from companies hesitant to adopt a simpler, data-first security model? If a company wanted to implement the KISS method tomorrow, what are the first three steps they should take?
