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?
