One of the things that we didn't pay enough attention was the user experience. We said, we need to deploy this browser extension. We needed to authenticate the extension and that created kind of a pop-up that asked the users for credentials and customers told us, there's no way I'm going to deploy something and that's going to pop up for 30,000 users. You need to go back and fix this.

And then we realized that we were naive in our assumption of how we do the deployment, but that also gives us the opportunity to innovate and come up with another feature that I'm really proud of. My name is Guy Guzner, and I'm a CEO and co-founder at Savvy Security.

Savvy Security is a SaaS security company focusing on identity. And it's based on the premise that if we think about modern IT, the cloud, then identity is sometimes... That's the gateway to access applications and data because there's no longer... a perimeter out there.

And what Savvy does, it helps customers find all of their different SaaS identities and then find the gaps where people are misusing identities, weak or compromised credentials, reusing passwords, not using MFA or single sign-on correctly. And then once we expose all those things we call toxic combination, then it's about how We help customers remediate that through automation.

I've spent my entire career in cybersecurity, so there's a progression here. And later I started working at Check Point. And then 10 years ago, I realized that the threat landscape is evolving and attackers are targeting applications.

And this is when I started the company in the domain of web isolation called FireGlass, which was protecting the most common used application, which is a web browser. We ended up selling that company to Symantec. And I stayed two years in Symantec building that business, traveling everywhere, meeting with customers.

And one thing that I realized is that even if we were isolating people and the technology was great, it was never breached, we still didn't prevent breaches entirely from happening because people were still misusing their identities. Savvy was about taking this to the next level and moving from the network to the application, to the user level and to the identities.
