Lacoon Mobile Security (Michael Shaulov, Founder)
In this episode, we interview Michael Shaulov, the co-founder and former CEO of Lacoon Mobile Security. Michael sold Lacoon to Check Point Software for $100mm. On average, companies that have over 500+ mobile devices deployed for business use have attempted network penetrations (hacking) nearly 100% of the time. With 25% of mobile applications having some kind of serious security flaw, the opportunity for companies like Lacoon to help protect mobile devices is huge. In this interview, we learn about how Michael built the company, attracted senior executive talent, and why he sold to Check Point. We also learn of how the culture in Israel helped incubate his successful startup.
