Synopsis

Speed is a recurring theme in this episode of The Tech Founder Odyssey. Also, timing.Eilon Elhadad and Eylam Milner, who met while serving in the Israeli military, discovered that source code leak was a hazardous side effect of businesses’ need to move fast and break things in order to stay competitive.“Every new business challenge leads to a new technological solution,” said Elhadad in this episode of The New Stack's podcast series. “The business challenge was to deliver product faster to the business; the solution was to build off the supply chain. And then it leads to a new security attack surface.”Discovering this problem, and finding a solution to it, put Milner and Elhadad in the right place at the right time — just as the tech industry was beginning to rally itself to deal with this issue and give it a name: software supply chain security.It led them to co-found Argon Security, which was acquired by Aqua Security in late 2021, Elhadad told The New Stack, a year after Argon started.
