Patrick Crowley was the founder of Observable Networks. He’s also a professor, and has spent a good part of his career running a federally and commercially sponsored research program focused on cutting-edge network security.
So he’s got a lot to say on the topic, and we captured a bunch of his most interesting points in this episode of the Cloud Unfiltered podcast. Among other things, Patrick explains:
- How “unsolvable problems” drove him from being a dyed-in-the-wool deep packet inspection guy to someone seeking new, sustainable security solutions
- What AWS did that was key to Observable Networks success
- What network flow records do and why they’re important for security purposes
- What entity modeling is and why it’s central to the Stealthwatch Cloud approach
- How Stealthwatch Cloud learns what a threat looks like and how long that learning takes
