“if you look at what actually happens in terms of data loss in an organization, most data loss actually comes not from external actors, but from insiders, from employees, from contractors. Sometimes malicious, sometimes accidental, sometimes sort of in the middle.”
“we have over 800 customers today on paying customers, that's the only kind we have.”
“I joined a company called CrashPlan, in 2015. Or it was called code42, but the product was called Crash Plan. It was an endpoint backup product, and the board hired me to figure out what we were gonna do with that product long term.”
