Thought Leaders in Cyber Security: Greg Enriquez, CEO of TrapX (Part 5)

Sramana Mitra: What else do you want to share with our audience?

Greg Enriquez: I think you have an interesting environment. You asked the question about what’s going to happen in the future. I think this conversation about Internet of Things and the growth of devices makes security a more interesting and challenging problem in the future.

Sramana Mitra: I think it’s going to be an absolute nightmare.

Greg Enriquez: I think the awareness of the public and the professional today is much higher than it was in the past.

Sramana Mitra: You’re sitting in San Mateo, California and you’re thinking that the average awareness of professionals is very high. If you look outside and look at the broader world, the awareness and knowledge is very low. Inadvertently, they’re going to cause an absolute nightmare.

Greg Enriquez: I can’t disagree with your concern. All I can say is that we will to continue to look for innovative ways to provide protection. I look at it this way. In 1800s, they robbed every bank on the corner. We continue to find ways to protecct ourselves. We put an alarm. We put a fence. We put a safe. Those days were over because you don’t have to rob a bank anymore to get money.

Sramana Mitra: That’s right.

Greg Enriquez: It continued and we seem to manage it. Today’s financial environment is the new world of robbing banks. There are billions of dollars lost every year in financial crime. We just continue to step up our defenses to try and slow the loss and certainly, stop any major catastrophe.

Sramana Mitra: We’ll see. Terrific. Thank you for your time.
