Prediction: In the AI age, taste will become even more important. When anyone can make anything, the big differentiator is what you choose to make. paulgraham.com/taste.html

EMA, one of the most respected analyst firms in network security, just named Zenarmor a “Vendor to Watch”. A few months after our SASE launch I said “Zenarmor was still a hidden gem”; its value and differentiation known only to some early customers and select partners. I also

Everyone is talking about AI security right now. And look, it's important, I'm not saying it's not. But I still think the industry is getting it all wrong. You see, SASE was the headline from about 2021 to 2024. COVID made distributed work the norm and everyone scrambled to

I've built and shipped many products in my career, and I have never seen one that was cooked in the kitchen and served to the customer without something that needed to change. On average, about 30% of any product gets reworked during the learning phase. Features get added,

There's this feeling you get as a founder when things start to shift. You know when you start a car and you wait for the engine to warm up? You listen for that noise, that specific hum that tells you the engine is ready. And once you hear it, you know you can press the gas and

Thanks for all the responses. It turns out that my view of cybersecurity’s future is unpopular. But here it is: - New doesn’t replace old. All the stuff that exists keeps existing. BUT it will be effectively “legacy”. Everything below is about the new. - AI detection everywhere.

"SASE means routing all your traffic through someone else's cloud." That's how most vendors do it. But it's not the only way. You can run a full SASE stack locally, on the endpoint or at the gateway, without backhauling traffic through distant data centers. Performance is

There’s something I keep telling people that always catches them off guard. The moment you hand a laptop to an employee, your organization becomes a distributed organization. It doesn't matter if you have 10 people or 10,000. It doesn't matter if they come to the office every

#ZeroTrust gets talked about a lot; but what does it actually mean in practice? Our CEO Murat Balaban explains the core idea behind Zero Trust and why traditional network models no longer work for today’s distributed environments. Thanks to Help Net Security for the feature.

Something I keep noticing in conversations with buyers is that most people have settled on the same definition of SASE - cloud-delivered network security. And nobody questions it. But here's how that happened. When Gartner announced the SASE category, every single network and

There's a misconception in the mid-market that I keep running into, and it's costing companies more than they realize. The assumption is that security has to be complex. And that complex means expensive. So you see IT teams who either overspend on solutions they can barely

Most SASE platforms in the market today were assembled over time.  A company builds one piece of the puzzle, acquires the rest, and integrates them into a suite. That's just how this industry has evolved. But it does come with tradeoffs that buyers should understand. When you

Came across this gem today: SSH3 - SSH over HTTP3 (QUIC+TLS) - supports OAuth as well. IMHO, this has a pretty high chance of replacing existing SSH implementations. github.com/francoismichel…

The most important new capability is the "Internet Exit Gateway" for mobile devices - means full suite of enterprise inspection for roaming fleet using mobile devices. #SASE #SSE #ZTNA #Zenarmor
