  • Saturday, 08 September 2018 19:09
Who are you and what do you do? I'm the CTO and co-founder of Path network, LLC. My name is Marshall Webb. PATH is a distributed network monitoring company, for the blockchain. Basically, we're serving that helps companies understand how their network operates. And if they have any traffic problems, your problems with their users get into their service. What's a progress of the projects right now? So it's gone really well. We've we've had a great crowd that ground we're in our public presale at the moment, and we've shipped our product. So we're extremely happy. Wow, how many people are you? So we're 10 full-time employees total. And then we have six part-time guys. And then we have a team in China. That's about 10 part time guys as well. That's cool. What's your background? So my background Actually, I used to be a hacker. So my background is in information security. I started college-aged 12. And I progressed in creation security. I own a couple of companies and seen a good name for this kind of product and decided to make a company around. This is cool. So what's the goal for this year? The goal for this year is to start onboarding clients. So we've got some clients in the works. And we've got some that were signing with right now. We're hoping to build that out. So now that we get our product out the door, we want to start selling and see where it goes. Yeah, where's your company? Oh, so we're based out of the Los Angeles. So who are your competitors? So the biggest competitors in our space are actually traditional companies that do centralize traditional internet monitoring. What's the definition of a hacker? So I think a hacker is anyone that goes out there and tries to big software. So what's your record? So my record, I guess the biggest thing I did as hackers as involved with the famous group called walls security. It was famous for hacking Nintendo, Sony and a bunch of other companies. And the biggest thing we did was we shut down the PlayStation Network in 2011. Oh, my God. So now everybody knows. That's you. Were you in trouble? I was, there is an investigation, virtually nothing came of it. But it was very scary. So why you guys were doing that? I think I was just really interested in security. I was amazed what corporate security was like, I wanted to see how these companies are so famous. And you think of them as you know, just the best when you're grown up and to realize that you can gain access to them is it's a channel. What type of family or parents will raise a child to be a hacker? That's a great question. But my parents actually are very traditional. My mother was a stay at home mom. And then my father, he worked at a steel mill as an electrical engineering. I have a younger sister. She is interested in technology too. What's interesting is the not just myself but a lot of the team members I hired as well all have backgrounds in it. Permission security, and probably the most interesting aspect is the CEO is not a former hacker, but he is a former FBI agent. So we have the good and the bad. Who is your superhero? Another Hacker from a book. What do you like to do for fun? I do a lot of research on hacking.
