Michael Landewe, Avanan

Michael has over two decades of technology startup experience. He began his career selling IBM compatible computers from his college dorm and cofounding a regional ISP. After developing space robot control systems at NASA Ames Smart Systems Lab he soon joined as an early employee of a few security startups, most recently ForeScout Technologies.

While at ForeScout he was part of the core group that introduced Network Access Control into what was then an intrusion detection company. This became its breakaway productgenerating $150M in revenue, becoming #1 in Gartner and Forresters industry category and leading to the companys eventual IPO.

Two years ago, this same core group developed a new productCloud Access Control but with ForeScouts blessing, decided to take some funding and start a new company, now called Avanan.

Avanan has since become a full-featured, defense-in-depth security solution for the public cloud. Without the need for an agent, VPN or proxy it provides the full stack of data security tools for enterpriseSaaS applications like Office365, GoogleDocs, Dropbox and Salesforce. It combines best-of-breed data leakage prevention, malware protection, encryption, anomaly detection and compliance management in a platform that scales to the largest of companies. Out of beta and releasing later this summer, the software is installed in a number pre-release customers across multiple industry verticals.
