Cloud Security Solutions - Is There an Agility Argument?

Guest: 

• James Luo,   Partner @ CapitalG

Topics:

• You've looked at hundreds of security startups at the growth stage - what is getting funded? What is not getting funded? What is the difference?
• What's your view on the current market environment for security companies? Is security "recession-proof", whatever that means?
• How do you think about what problems are worth solving with a new venture vs existing vendors (and/or CSPs) expanding to cover the new area?
• Why do many cloud security vendors get funded and get high valuations while there is a wide perception that CSP (like us at Google) are doing security really well?
• How do we solve the challenge that many organizations are barely moving off “antivirus and firewalls” security of the 1990s?
• What is your best advice to cloud security startups trying to get wider adoption?
