This week on The Business of Cloud Native, I talked to Tzury Bar Yochay, founder and CTO of Reblaze, about building a cloud native security company before twelve thousand people were going to KubeCon. 

Highlights:

Why your security measures have to keep up with hackers’ sophistication.

The moment when Tzury decided to go from being a contractor for the defense industry to founding a company.

Why the default path for startups is failure. 

Why open source is key to securing your cloud environment.

How selling a security product to developers has evolved over time. 

Why lazy developers are good developers. 

Why selling software to developers is different from selling software to other types of professionals. 

Why he thinks the most brilliant developers tend to gravitate towards open source. 

Why security based on obscurity is a terrible, perhaps even evil, strategy.
