In this episode of Founders on Fire, host Rose Ross speaks with Colin Constable, co-founder and CTO of Atsign, winners of the Networking Trailblazers Award. Atsign is revolutionizing internet security and privacy by eliminating network attack surfaces, making data exchanges private, encrypted, and invisible to hackers. Colin shares the origin story of Atsign, which started as an argument over the flaws of the internet - particularly the lack of control over personal data. He explains how Atsign’s privacy-preserving platform enables secure, peer-to-peer communication without exposing open network ports, solving a 50-year-old problem in networking. The conversation dives into critical infrastructure security, the threat of nation-state cyberattacks, and how Atsign’s NoPorts technology makes businesses invisible to hackers. Colin also reflects on the startup journey, the importance of grit, and how Atsign’s flat organizational structure fosters innovation. Tune in now to hear how Atsign is redefining internet security and protecting businesses from cyber threats!
