New Developer-Centric Venture in the Cloud Security Space Coming from Lance Crosby
📅 - Lance Crosby took the stage last year at the HostingCon Global event in San Diego. He is the founder of SoftLayer and a 20-year veteran of the hosting industry. Many didn't know what his plans were when he left IBM in February, but he's back with something new.
The new thing Crosby has now is called StackPath. It's a Security-as-a-Service company, which launched on Monday with investments from Abry Parnters. The technology for StackPath will include MaxCDN, Cloak and Fireblade, which have all been acquired for this project.
