The Start of PolySwarm and Beyond: A Letter from the PolySwarm CEO
Hi There,
About 6 months ago the concept behind PolySwarm was born out of frustration: we were a small cyber security company with innovative tools and no path to market.
So like good engineers we got frustrated and built something to deal with the problem, PolySwarm.
We really felt the pain of this problem, as a team and as individuals. There was no way for security experts like ourselves to innovate and distribute those innovations to protect users. This became the mission behind PolySwarm: enable permissionless innovation to protect users against malware and other cyber security threats.
Frankly, we’ve been overwhelmed by the response we’ve gotten and I lost an internal bet, a long time ago, now that our Telegram channel is over 6,000 users. (Join us, @PolySwarm!)
But the story won’t end with the ICO. Our team is hard at work enhancing the software and community that are so vital to scaling PolySwarm.
On the software development front, we already have our feature complete Beta of PolySwarm running the contest for security experts. Upon completion of the ICO, we’re going to also start working on several frontends for PolySwarm, including a Windows anti-virus agent and a connector for common enterprise email servers. We think both of these frontends will introduce a ton of sample volume into PolySwarm and we’re excited to see users and security experts benefit from the protection of thousands of micro engines working together.
I’m especially excited about growing the PolySwarm community, which sounds generic so it’s worth expanding on what I mean here. We fundamentally see PolySwarm as a way to transform the fight against malware, our weapons are economics and the security community.
Our job is to judo economic incentives via the recent developments across the cryptocurrency space, into much, much, better protection against malware. We can’t do this alone, which is why we’ve put so much care into a token model that incentivizes ambassadors, enterprises, users, and security experts.
We think everyone has a role to play in the fight against malware and we look forward to your support before, during, and after the token sale.
Steve
CEO, PolySwarm Pte. Ltd.
