I applaud the Federal Trade Commission for adopting a comprehensive ban on new non-competes. While the U.S. Chamber of Commerce challenged the regulation, Pure Storage offers a different perspective. Since 1941, California has made non-competes unenforceable, except in certain situations such as key executives in the sale of their company. A highly competitive labor environment is one important reason why this State remains the world's fifth-largest economy, which is significantly enabled by the absence of non-compete agreements. In our early days, Pure Storage faced a barrage of non-compete lawsuits from a large entrenched vendor, which did not want its people leaving for a competitor. Certainly, seeing trained personnel go to a competitor is uncomfortable, and employees certainly need to protect confidential information. But, competitive hiring works both ways and companies need to create attractive and competitive workplaces to retain their top talent. To create a competitive economy and world beating companies, our country needs to enable a mobile, competitive workforce. Eliminating non-compete agreements will enhance our country’s competitiveness, and encourage companies to focus on their work environments rather than their legal contracts. How do you feel about non-compete agreements? https://purefla.sh/3UwoLqa

The proliferation of foundation models is redefining what it means to be a technical founder. Satyam Sinha exemplifies the evolving skillset required to build AI-native companies. After recognizing AI's trajectory while VP of Engineering at Palo Alto Networks, he made a decisive move—resigning shortly after to tackle AI security head-on. Satyam's approach to founding Acuvity demonstrates key attributes for AI-native startups: → Swift problem identification: AI security and governance → Team assembly: leveraging 8+ years of shared experience → Novel technical approach: using AI models to monitor AI usage → Rapid execution: securing early customers within months of founding Satyam's edge comes from his transition from pure technologist to business-savvy founder. At his previous startup Aporeto, he pushed himself to move between engineering and GTM teams. This experience equipped him to address the full spectrum of challenges in building an AI company. Most talk about AI. A select few are building it. Leading Acuvity’s $9M Seed reflects our conviction in Satyam and cofounder Antoine Mercadal, their vision, and the urgent need for robust AI security solutions. Proud to lead this round!

For far too long we’ve “one sized” access across multiple resource types - often granting far too much access to users to try to remove friction from our business. But we should be able to provide the RIGHT amount of access at the RIGHT time. Here Justin McCarthy - our co founder and CTO - explains how StrongDM can “right size” the authentication process to step up access when needed whilst introducing just enough friction for the task at hand. All within the confines of the industrys most open and powerful PAM infrastructure. Do things differently and get different results…

"What is your take on CyberArk and Venafi, a CyberArk Company coming together?" was one of the questions Scott Whitehouse posed to us in this studio recording interview at #Impact24 #IWT2024 event yesterday in San Jose. The recording itself is forthcoming shortly. Raj Kulkarni and Emil Gitman from Cyderes were on this panel. Automation at scale is a key theme that emerged in the discussion with the need to address machine identities that continue to proliferate. Everything that enterprises is doing for human identities around certificate management must be done even more so for machine identities . A machine need not be only the "server" in the data center -- it can be any edge device, api calls, algorithms and thus the number is just mind-boggling. Enter Venafi, a CyberArk Company - that was just acquired by CyberArk. It is a perfect complement that augments the world of certificates management across the world of human and machine identities. However, there is a call to action for the ecosphere of partners -- as Ken Koocher said earlier in the day. We need to work together on how CyberArk and Venafi components come together for targeted outcomes for our joint customers. Specifically on Venafi, I had the privilege to meet with the fine team -- Setu Kulkarni, VP of Product Management at Venafi, a CyberArk Company along with Melissa Christiansen :: Satya Jayanti and Sitaram IYER. We are well positioned to be a catalyst for this partnership because: -- there is an OpenShift managed distribution of CertManager and -- Venafi has a Control Plane operator certified by Red Hat Click here to learn more about the ecosphere of Venafi: marketplace.venafi.com

CEO of Frame.io Emery Wells sold the company to Adobe in 2021 for nearly $1.3 billion. In our conversation, Emery shares his journey from NYC bartender to startup founder, including his work with Saturday Night Live that highlighted the pain points that led to Frame. We dive deep into his rejection of the lean startup concept, how he gets his team to obsess over design details, and the cultural reset at Frame that set the stage for its success. Some takeaways… → How to Get Your Team to Obsess Over Details In the early days, teams often presented unfinished work in demos, filled with caveats and incomplete elements. To address this, Emery introduced two types of weekly meetings: stakeholder reviews and build reviews. Stakeholder reviews allowed teams to present work in progress and gather feedback. Build reviews, on the other hand, required 100% finished, pixel-perfect work. Leadership pre-inspected presentations to ensure they met strict criteria, and if they didn’t, the meetings got canceled. While this process initially resulted in a lot of canceled meetings and friction, it ultimately established a culture of meticulousness, drastically improving product quality and polished demos. → Why Enterprise Software Sucks Enterprise software often lacks emphasis on brand, design, and quality of execution, traditionally leading to poor user experiences. However, with the consumerization of enterprise software, user expectations have shifted towards high-quality, intuitive experiences akin to consumer apps like Instagram. Today, end users within organizations can often influence purchasing decisions, making it more important for enterprise software to prioritize strong branding and user-friendly design. At Frame, building a strong user experience has greatly improved the brand and contributed to the company's success. → How to Get Your Team to 11/10 The hardest part about achieving 11/10 outcomes is pushing people beyond the point where they think they've done enough. The key is motivating the team to realize their full potential and surpass their perceived limits, but you must balance emotional boundaries and discomfort without causing burnout. If you do it right, the team will ultimately see they can achieve more than they initially thought possible. → How Emery Learned Culture Was Actually Important When 3 directors left and the VP of Engineering was replaced, Emery realized there was a cultural crisis at Frame. Previously, many different ideologies led to unhealthy internal debate, and they had no unified belief system. Emery then realized that culture is about shared decision-making approaches and a cohesive set of values, not just social norms. When Emery brought in new directors, they sat down to reset the culture and think hard about Frame’s cultural values, and it worked wonders.

Had a great time sitting down with James J Azar on the CyberHub Podcast, sharing my candid thoughts on what it’s REALLY like to be a CISO at a startup. It’s not often I get the chance to dive into my personal journey—from the Israeli Air Force to the fast-paced world of startups—and talk openly about the challenges and the lessons I've learned along the way. We covered a lot (!!!) - Building a security-first culture without losing focus on business goals. - Navigating the balance between security priorities and rapid product growth. - The importance of trust, communication, and solid relationships in a startup. - How resilience plays a role, not just in cybersecurity but in life. It was refreshing to have such a genuine conversation 😃 Big thanks to James and his team for making it happen. I’d love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to reach out! https://lnkd.in/dehR8xCY #cybersecurity #leadership #CISO #startuplife #businessstrategy #cyberresilience #cyberhubpodcast

Super interesting move by Joe Levy and the team at Sophos. The managed services market is still fragmented and chaotic, and far too many customers are underserved/unserved. Excited to see where they take this acquisition of Secureworks and lead out in the market. #sophos #cybersecurity #cyber #M&A #secureworks.
