Jason Martin, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Permiso Security: $10 Million Raised to Build the Future of Cloud Security

In today's episode of Category Visionaries, we speak with Jason Martin, Co-Counder and Co-CEO of Permiso Security, a cloud identity detection response platform that's raised $10 Million in funding, about the importance of knowing exactly who (or what) is trying to breach your security barrier, and building the right kind of response in real-time. With instant identity-to-event attribution, Permiso helps their clients understand the nature of the security threats they face, and make the right decisions about how to respond, both in the moment and for the future.

We also speak about Jason’s quarter-century career in cybersecurity, playing both offensive and defensive roles, the Permiso mission statement of ‘trying to find evil’ in the public cloud, the diversity of threats and aggressors facing a firm’s cybersecurity infrastructure, how Permiso differentiate themselves in the ‘threat detection’ space, and why the security of any company ultimately lies in its people and the processes they adhere to. 

Topics Discussed:

• Jason’s extensive career in cybersecurity, playing roles in both the defensive and offensive software space
• Why the modern cloud-based economy is facing a more diverse range of threats than ever before
• ‘Finding evil’ as a clear, concise mission statement for Permiso to make their mark on the market
• Building a fun, engaging website as a vital touchpoint for potential customers
• Differentiation in a crowded market space, and how Permiso stand apart from the general ‘threat detection’  solutions
• Why hygiene, process, and ultimately people are the ultimate security solution for any company
