Ducklin introduces the podcast and begins by asking Emerson to share the company's history and the reasons for its unique approach. Emerson explains that our website was created in 2021 with the goal of providing pragmatic enterprise-level security as a service to businesses that may not have the resources or expertise to handle cybersecurity in-house.
He notes that our website does not build its own tools but rather selects best-of-breed products and integrates them into a comprehensive solution. This approach allows businesses to reap the benefits of world-class cybersecurity solutions without the need for extensive in-house expertise or the financial burden of developing custom tools.
Throughout the conversation, Ducklin and Emerson discuss the human element in cybersecurity and the importance of human touch in an increasingly automated industry. They agree that despite the advancements in AI and machine learning, human judgment and nuanced decision-making are essential in the realm of cybersecurity.
