When Armadin co-founder and CEO Kevin Mandia started his career, hacking was an under-the-radar nuisance. As our lives and financial systems moved online, everything changed. Mandiant, his first company, became the team that CEOs called during their worst breaches. Now, he believes cybersecurity is entering its biggest shift yet, and he’s founded Armadin to put the defenders back on offense.
In this episode of Spotlight On, Accel’s Ping Li talks with Kevin about his path from the U.S. Air Force to founding Mandiant and now Armadin. They dig into how hacking went from annoyance to national security threat, what’s different about today’s AI-enabled adversaries, and Kevin’s playbook for CEOs facing a breach.
