From Viruses to Cyberwar: A Conversation with Mikko Hyppönen (Sensofusion).
Q: Why do you think storytelling is so important in our field?
Storytelling makes complex cybersecurity concepts memorable and relatable, helping people understand and remember lessons from incidents far better than dry theory.
A Conversation with Tjark Auerbach, Founder of Avira (now part of Gen).
Q: What was the turning point that pushed Avira toward international expansion and later integration into Gen Digital?
Strategic decisions in the late 1990s and 2000s, including the need for broader distribution and eventually selling shares to investors and then merging with Gen Digital, enabled Avira to scale beyond Germany and align with a larger security ecosystem.
A Conversation with Tjark Auerbach, Founder of Avira (now part of Gen).
Q: Looking back, how did the idea for Avira evolve and why the switch from H&B EDV to Avira?
The founders shifted from a hardware-centric focus to software and chose Avira because it could be positioned prominently in Windows' program list, making it easy to discover; the name also helped global expansion and branding, leading to international recognition.
A Conversation with Pavel Baudiš (Co-founder of Avast & Board Member of Gen).
Q: What would you tell a young founder about growing a security company internationally?
The guest advocates thinking big, not limiting to a single region, and emphasizes timing, a strong user community, and the importance of building a product that can scale globally while leveraging a freemium model for widespread adoption.
