This week on Making Data Simple, we have Greg Edwards, CEO at Cryptostopper.  Greg has been a technology entrepreneur since 1998. Before Greg founded CryptoStopper, Greg started Axis Backup, a backup and disaster recovery company for the insurance industry.

Between 2012 and 2015, one in five of Axis Backup’s clients was hit by cybercrime. Greg realized effective cyber security could save businesses from costly downtime and compromised systems. In 2015, Axis Backup was acquired by J2 Global, freeing Greg to create CryptoStopper and focus exclusively on cybersecurity.

Abstract Hosted by Al Martin, VP, IBM Expert Services Delivery, Making Data Simple provides the latest thinking on big data, A.I., and the implications for the enterprise from a range of experts. This week on Making Data Simple, we have Alex Watson. Alex was previously a GM at AWS and is currently a Co-Founder at Gretel.ai. Gretel is a privacy startup that enables developers, researchers, and scientists to quickly create safe versions of data for use in pre-production environments and machine learning workloads, which are shareable across teams and organizations. These tools address head-on the massive data privacy bottleneck--which has stifled innovation across multiple industries for years—by equipping builders everywhere with the ability to create quality datasets that scale. In short, synthetic data levels the playing field for everyone. This democratization of data will foster competition, scientific discoveries, and the inventions that will drive the next revolution of our data economy.  The company recently closed their series-A funding, led by Greylock, for another $12 million and brought Jason Warner, the current CTO for GitHub, on as an investor. Gretel also launched its latest public beta, Beta2, which offers privacy engineering as a service for everyone, not just developers.
