Amir Ben-Efraim, Co-founder Menlo Security - A Mission to 100% Eliminate Malware

Menlo was founded, in part, because five cybersecurity experts were fed up. Security products should stop bad things from happening — but they didn’t.

Founding his second company on the premise of “Hey, we can do better” has taken this entrepreneur all the way to validation in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant within a decade.

In this episode, we interview Amir Ben-Efraim, CEO at Menlo Security, about lessons learned from the acquisition of his first company and the wild success of his second one.

In this episode, we also discuss:

• Menlo Security’s origin story
• The balance of business and technology in entrepreneurship
• What Amir learned from founding Altor
• Validation from Gartner and tracking the competition
  

Check out these resources we mentioned during the podcast:

• Shout out to Menlo Co-founder and Chief Product Officer Poornima DeBolle
• Menlo named a Visionary by Gartner for third year
