EP207 Slaying the Ransomware Dragon: Can a Startup Succeed?

Topics covered:

• Tell us about the ransomware problem - isn't this a bit of old news? Circa 2015, right?
• What makes ransomware a unique security problem? 
• What's different about ransomware versus other kinds of malware? What do you make of the “RansomOps” take (aka “ransomware is not malware”)?
• Are there new ways to solve it?
• Is this really a problem that a startup is positioned to solve? Aren’t large infrastructure owners better positioned for this? In fact, why haven't existing solutions solved this? 
• Is this really a symptom of a bigger problem?  What is that problem?
• What made you personally want to get into this space, other than the potential upside of solving the problem?
