Redwood Shores, Calif.: Imperva, Inc.

Reuven Harrison, CTO of Tufin Technologies takes a look into the world of system administration

Historically security products have been developed either in response to, or in anticipation of, major shifts in enterprise computing - or at least that's been my experience.
