Who is on this subjectordered by the date of their first quote here

4 of 5 lanes rest on fewer than 5 quotes and are marked thin. Offsets are days from the middle first-quote date, 23 May 2025 — a date, and nothing else. It is not a claim about who reached a view first.

Add someone to security

This files a request; it does not add anyone. Names are added by hand. Someone accepted joins as watching — the connectors start looking for them, and a lane appears here only once there are quotes. A name on its own draws nothing.

    2. Bill Gurley

      Gurley explains CrowdStrike's network effect where threat-sharing makes the largest security network most valuable.

      “the way that it worked for them and the way that the marginal customer ends up with more utility is if the threats are shared across a network, then if you belong to the biggest network, then you get the shared learning of everyone in that network, which lowers your threat exposure.”
