SANS@Night Make a Dent in The Universe: The Infosec Startup

The classic way to make a massive difference with technology, or “Dent in The Universe,” is via a startup. We can define a startup as a company with high growth possibilities that is innovative and potentially disruptive. This describes most startups in the infosec space.

Also, essentially every startup has a strong technology component today and infosec concerns. This translates to lots of startup opportunities for infosec professionals, whether as a founder, early-stage employee, rank and file employee, or even investor.
