It’s hard to believe we are in Q4 already. If you’re in the Bay Area, it still feels like summer! But here we are, rapidly approaching Halloween and the holidays, watching football and playoff baseball.
I don’t really do quarterly company updates on the blog; in fact, I think Walt would argue I don’t write enough blog posts in general. But I’m just too excited. SafeLogic has had a great year and I’m really proud of the work that the team is done. A more detailed recap will happen towards the end of the year - Walt will be sure of that!
I’m on the way to Orlando now to talk at Gartner Symposium about security and compliance with Paul DePond of Globo, one of our customers in mobility. If you follow us on Twitter (and why wouldn’t you?), you’ll notice that I’ve been on the road speaking quite a bit recently. The content has been a blend of education and evangelism. I’m trying to get developers in emerging areas of technology to think about building security in to their solutions. I know it’s no easy task but I want to be sure folks are thinking about emerging threats. It's easier with SafeLogic, but that's another story. I want folks to understand the need for and value of strong encryption built with compliance in mind.
We have talked to customers and potential clients in some very cool new spaces, and it's encouraging to see a more mature comprehension of the advantages offered by validated crypto. Questions from analysts and press are becoming more sophisticated, and end users are really adapting to the landscape. It's gratifying to see folks genuinely care about how their data is being protected.
It’s been a very fun and very busy year... and we have some cool surprises in store, in both the short and long term. I can’t wait to share more.
