New “Founders Helping Founders” podcast!

Chris Wysopal (@WeldPond) is the founder of Veracode (@veracode), a $2.5 billion cybersecurity company

He is one of the first hackers turned founders who turned his curiosity in computing into a creative force as an entrepreneur

As a member of the famous L0pht group, Chris and his peers are widely credited for popularizing “whitehat” hacking as a profession. They were one of the first rebellious individuals to go public with cybersecurity exploits, and were on TV and magazine covers in the late 1990s

Veracode is a story of success and persistence as a startup - it has been acquired, spun-out successfully, and has emerged as an independent company that is on the forefront of AI-driven code creation and “shift left” application security

I was grateful that Chris was willing to share some of his personal lessons learned along the way - podcast link below!

Excited to announce our investment in Prowler, an open cloud security platform that breaks from the traditional “black-box” model

Cloud security is still an unsolved problem and “one size fits all'' vendor approaches have created alert fatigue and too much noise - Prowler offers a fresh approach that is open source and transparent

Prowler now has >6 million downloads and contributors from companies large and small. Hundreds of open source detections-as-code give customers choice w/o compromises out of the box

Prowler founders Toni de la Fuente (@ToniBlyx)
and Casey Rosenthal (@caseyrosenthal) have a clear vision for open cloud security

Thank you both for working on this important problem - we are excited to join the movement 👇
