Jason Hiner: Hello and welcome to RSAC TV. I'm Jason Hiner, the host this morning from ZDNet and TechRepublic. Here, we're going to talk about this week lots of security experts, lots of great advice, lots of wisdom, and talk to some really smart people to help us learn a lot more about how to make cybersecurity better. Our guest this morning is Yaniv Avidan, the CEO of MinerEye. Yaniv, welcome.

Yaniv Avidan:How you doing?

Jason Hiner: Very good. Thanks for being here. You are the CEO of a company that's doing some really interesting things to make security better, make cybersecurity better and to solve one of the most persistent problems. Let's talk a little bit though about the state of security and how that got to what you guys do.

Talk to us a little about it. You've worked in the security industry for a long time. Tell us a little bit about that evolution.
