Prediction: They'll build tools/services which are broadly similar to existing security technologies (IDS / log analysis / etc) and then their sales team will mention - at opportune moments - that they have an ex-NSA founder who oversees the technology. If pressed there probably won't be a huge amount of details on what extra security / insight that might provide vs their competitors, but there'll be implicit suggestions that it's because what he knows is classified and nation-state level and that it actually filters down to the way they design and implement the services. Is there real magic technology previously unknown to security that they'll be able to add? And would it be wise to expose it via a small startup if so? Personally doubt both, but probably doubt the former more so. Meanwhile a basic product will develop, sales will flow, it's probably a safe-ish bet for the early investors/founders, the sun will continue to rise in the east and set in the west, etc.
