In December 2007, I became the Vice President of Engineering at Mu Dynamics, the company that created the service analyzer market and has been shipping the industry's first service analyzer appliance, the award-winning Mu-4000. As computer networks have become more essential to the operation of businesses worldwide, they are becoming more complex. Increased functionality drives complexity and makes networks harder to manage, less robust and less resilient; it also increases the number of security vulnerabilities. Mu Security's products directly address these critical problems to find issues before they lead to service downtime.
