Paul is both the founder and chief technology officer of Qwyit. His firm developed QwyitTalk, a Security as a Service platform that allows any communications product to offer secure, private messaging through a simple connection to the platform.

Perhaps more importantly, Paul is a telecommunications expert with over 35 years of experience handling financial, project management, database applications and security systems. He has a unique perspective on the history of cybersecurity, and his insight on the industry is valuable.

Paul and Ryan discussed some of the major lessons that we have learned from decades of data security incidents and attacks, as well as the specifics of what a breach looks like on the ground level. The pair also highlighted some things that casual observers need to know about their own security and pointed to some new trends emerging in the industry.
