What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
It's a very small group, especially considering the size of security with thousands of different organizations or other organizations that are pretty similar to Wiz. From the security standpoint, it's a super small, tight-knit community.
I worked at a company called Logic Gate, another security company. I was able to bring the information I learned there and the people I met, sold to, and partnered with over to Wiz.
Continuously meeting those people, meeting the industry leaders, and attending events to see people face-to-face has been an exciting part of the job so far.
