In this week’s podcast, Ken Forster interviews Duncan Greatwood, CEO of Xage Security, the first and only blockchain-protected security platform for the Industrial IOT. (We are proud investors behind Xage).

Duncan is a serial founder and successful CEO, having sold Topsy Labs, the leader in social media search and analytics to Apple in 2013, and PostPath, the email, collaboration and security company to Cisco in 2008. Previously, Duncan held Vice President roles in Marketing, Corporate Development and Sales at Virata, as well as earlier engineering and product marketing positions at Madge Networks. Duncan holds a B.A. (Mathematics) and M.Sc. (Computer Science) from Oxford University and an M.B.A. from London Business School.

Some of the discussion points during this interview:

• How did your work in collaboration prepare you for a leading role in cyber-security?
• What is the origin story of Xage Security?
• Why the focus on the Industrial IoT?
• What is your perspective of the recent news of the SolarWinds hack? 
• What do you see as the critical challenges facing existing and new OT systems?
• What would you advise anyone overseeing an OT system at this point?

Duncan recommends the following books:

• Stamford International University - A lot of resources there if you want to go deeper technically on the theory of distributed cyber operations
• "Abusing The Internet of Things" By Nitesh Dhanjani - Which is a good guide to thinking creatively about cyber.
