DrNuke, please reconsider what you’re doing here.
3 years is hardly enough to understand the cyber security problem space, let alone build useful products/solutions.
At best, they’ll fleece some unaware VCs, sell rubbish to companies via flashy PR, and exit or collapse.
This field is hard.
- icedchai 8y agoThey can probably build some snake oil in 3 years.
- killyp 8y agoWouldn't even take that long. I could throw together a flashy "antivirus" that looks really good and does nothing more than a simple file signature lookup in a month. I could probably also get some sales of it to small companies that don't know any better. But to be ground breaking in the cyber security world and build something that is the foundation of a new company is just not feasible in 3 years without massive help from VCs, which isn't going to happen without a PoC or connections.
- segmondy 8y agoReally? There are tons of low hanging fruit in the security problem space that is all about adjusting user and developer behavior.
