I recently interviewed Taher Elgamal, famous cryptographer, and currently the CTO of Tumbleweed, a $60 Million email security company. I asked him where he sees the opportunity for Tumbleweed to play in the Security space, which is hopelessly crowded. Taher said: “The industry essentially was split into different sectors. Some became part of the network
Next we move on to trace Taher’s work after Securify, which is currently back to being a private company, with $9.5 M revenue in 2006 revenue, having achieved 339% growth last year. SM: Who is running Securify today? TE: The CEO is Buck French. He was actually an investor in the company from JP Morgan
