Ep 36: Ryan Noon, CEO of Material Security, on email security, Colonial Pipeline attack, recent hacks, and more

Our special guest this week is Ryan Noon, CEO of Material Security. Material Security reduces the risks of email hacking. Email is an essential repository of sensitive content, the key to countless accounts, and the most ubiquitous business application. When attackers have multiple ways in, blocking messages is no longer enough. Material protects accounts even after they’re compromised or harmful messages get through.Customers include Cloudera, Lyft, Sonos, PagerDuty,  Databricks and others.  The company is backed by Silicon Valley legends inside and outside the security community,and has raised venture capital from Andreessen Horowitz. Prior to Material Security, Ryan was the founder of Parastructure, which was acquired by Dropbox. Ryan is an angel investor, and holds a BS and Master’s in Computer Science from Stanford.
