OUR PHILOSOPHY
Inside The Guild
Guiding Principles
One
Cyber. Either Win Or Perish.
When dealing with well-funded attacks, sponsored by states and organized crime syndicates, cybersecurity solutions we invest in must be no less than brilliant. At the same time they should be :
Easy to Explain, Easy to deploy, Easy to use !
TWO
The Power of Silicon.
When everything else fails, hardware enabled security could be the best solution against new threats both in legacy markets and new ones, protecting every layer of the compute stack, from hardware, firmware and operating systems to applications, networks and the cloud
THREE
Conventional Thinking Not Allowed Beyond This Point
If you are one of those alpha geeks or outliers no one listened to, try us!
The direct path to the Guilds’ success is carved in the idea that Simplicity is Disruptive
