This is really great criticism of the business, thank you for this.
I have not given much thought to downloads yet. This will indeed be a challenge. As you insightfully identify, many businesses are concerned with remotely rendered email integration, and making downloads safe again.
Positioning as a vertically-integrated supplier is challenging. For instance, how to compete with Symantec who have their own high quality scanners?
I don't plan to get into the threat detection business. It might be possible to sell or license to one in the space however. Or to integrate 3rd-party scanning tech as a first-class part of the product, or offer to build integrations with a customer's existing SWG solution.
There's no simple answers to these challenges. I look forward to making something that works to address these concerns.
Edit: This has also given me an idea. If the challenges you pinpoint make it too hard to compete with the existing RBI suppliers, it might work for BrowserGap to become a browsing tool for advanced users. Or I could be overfitting such a model based on the feedback of HN which skews toward technical specialization.
In any case, please make more feedback if you have it. I appreciate your look at this.
