Key Insights from the Interview
The Foundation of ZBT
"When we launched ZBT, we were a small team of passionate technologists who saw the alarming gaps in global network security infrastructure. Malicious actors were exploiting these vulnerabilities, and we felt compelled to step up and address this growing threat."
Adapting to the Pandemic
"As COVID-19 reshaped the way people live and work, remote employees frequently accessed sensitive corporate data from unsecured networks. Alarmingly, most organizations still lack protocols to adequately prevent, detect, or respond to cyberattacks in these environments."
Security in Smart Homes
"Smart homes that operate independently of the internet offer a heightened level of cybersecurity, as they are not vulnerable to breaches through public cloud connections."
The Importance of Open Technologies
"As open-source technologies continue to evolve, more individuals will be empowered to contribute. The transparency of these systems will be crucial for public safety, as collective input can improve security for everyone."
Looking Ahead
"We are only at the beginning of our mission to create top-tier products focused on security and privacy. Moving forward, we aim to make our software more user-friendly, even for individuals with limited knowledge of cybersecurity."
