If you have a problem with Unit 8200 alumni, you’re going to have a difficult time buying commercially available security products. Palo Alto Networks, Armis, Checkpoint, and many others were either founded by or otherwise have former 8200 folks on staff. Then there’s crowdstrike, founded by a Russian. Or Fortinet, which was founded by Ken Xie (born in Beijing.)

I guess you could base your entire security stack on F Secure. Everyone loves the Finns.

All of this "VPN" access software is pretty disgusting, from the perspective of the "VPN" "client". Absolutely untrustworthy bloated spying crap.

I boycot it every time I can just for this.

Wiz does many things. VPN, by any definition, is not one of them.

Where do you see Wiz in the above list of products in the post I'm responding to?

In any case, as for wiz..., if companies want to stuff their secrets into a proprietary product that is controlled by intelligence officers of a hostile (as in a lack of respect for international law) foreign country, I don't care. I know I would not.

This thread is talking about Wiz. The comment you responded to was about the fact that security company founders often have intelligence community backgrounds and/or come from adversary states (from a US/European perspective.) It had nothing to do with VPN.

I can chose to what part of a comment I'll respond to. I responded to list of companies providing "VPN" software. Fortinet, paloalto/globalprotect, checkpoint,...

[marcus0x62]

That is a tiny part of what those companies do and was mentioned nowhere in that post.

You’re responding to something that isn’t there.

> The founders of CrowdStrike—George Kurtz, Dmitri Alperovitch, and Gregg Marston—do not have publicly documented personal connections to Israel. That's the first claim of yours I faield to verify so I won't bother with the rest.

I realize reading is a very difficult skill to master, but maybe -- just maybe -- you couldn't verify that "claim" because I never made it.

the comment stated that crowdstrike is founded by a Russian, not by Israel.
