Mike Wiacek, founder of Google's Threat Analysis Group and co-founder / former Chief Security Officer of Alphabet moonshot Chronicle, leads the company as its CEO and founder.
Stairwell wants to provide security teams with accessible, user-centric tools that help them understand the pivotal relationships between their external and internal data sources.
"Security teams today are beholden to siloed tools that cannot identify ambient connections between their external and internal data sources and provide only baseline level protection against generic threats," said Mike Wiacek, founder and CEO of Stairwell.
"We started Stairwell so security teams have a cohesive understanding of what's good, what's bad, and why, so they can actively defend against the most sophisticated threats."
Stairwell is building a multidisciplinary team of cybersecurity experts, product designers, software engineers, physicists, and applied mathematicians who share the viewpoint that any security team should be able to defend against every adversary.
