Mark Hoover is the CEO of Vidder, Inc. He leads the startup to address a fundamental problem: IT security organizations are becoming increasingly less secure, despite increasing spending on security. As a 30-year industry veteran having mostly developed or marketed networking products at AT&T Bell Labs, SynOptics/Bay Networks, and over 100 companies as a product strategist at Acuitive, Mark has a unique perspective. The same openness, visibility, and automated processes that have made TCP/IP networks hugely scalable are also the root cause of most network-centric security woes. At Vidder, Mark's mission is to bring to market a new security framework that strengthens security without impeding user productivity - one solution to reduce enterprise risk for traditional IT while achieving agility with security in the new enterprise shaped by public cloud services, SaaS, BYOD, and IoT.
