Thought Leaders in Cyber Security: Georges Lotigier, CEO of Vade Retro (Part 7)

Sramana Mitra: It remains to be seen. The last question is if you look at the trends, what are some open problems? Not what you’re solving but problems that you see out there that you think needs to be solved and you recommend other entrepreneurs go after and solve.

Georges Lotigier: I think there are two big trends. Because the quantity of information is increasing in an explosive way and the problem appears to be the ability to manage the quantity of information. You can see that email today is more and more being considered as the main way to archive information and documents. The quantity of information to store is incredible. There are a lot of different possibilities today for new technology in that field. The second point, in my opinion, is as we exchange more and more information and as databases get bigger, the security in the cloud is very critical. There needs to be an opportunity to create other companies in this space.

We built a new company in the field of data storage, which is called OpenIO. It is a tool to scale applications and object storage on the same machine through API storage, like an ISP for example. The first use can can be email providers, but also the cloud providers who have to manage large quantity of data. We just launched this company a couple of months ago. The company is based in France and San Francisco. We offer a unique solution to assist with storage expansion capabilities. Most of the products take time to rebalance the data through the new hub. Performance decreases when data rebalances, and that’s a problem for true scalability. We offer a solution for that. You can start with 20 terabytes of data without any problem of infrastructure. This is another big trend and OpenIO offers the solution. not only because of of big data management abilities but in many areas of cybersecurity as well.

Sramana Mitra: We cover both of those extensively. Terrific. Thank you for your time.
