Why Cybersecurity is Ripe for Disruption | John Strand | Part 2
from Security Cocktail Hour · host Joe Patti and Adam Roth
In part 2 of our discussion, John Strand tells us how the cybersecurity industry has turned stagnant, with a lack of innovation and an investment model that isn't going to turn that around any time soon. We explore why venture capital funding hasn't led to the breakthrough products the industry needs, and what's holding back real innovation. John also highlights the leaders in the security industry who are actively giving back to the community, and he and Adam try to one-up each other over who's stayed in the most disgusting hotel room.00:00 Intro00:12 Security is Ripe for Disruption06:19 Better Investors = Better Security Products10:22 Security is Awesome12:43 Scaling Conference Talks15:54 John's Advice on Guests17:30 A Great Set of People23:18 Bad Hotels, Good People29:10 Wrapup29:54 OutroThis is Part 2 of our conversation with John Strand.
