Q&A: Atrion Communications' Dominic Grillo On IT Security, Finding Emerging Vendors

Describe the state of the IT security market today.

The IT security market is always changing rapidly. That's kind of the challenge that everyone is faced with, that there are so many different new technologies, new solutions and new ways of thinking, really, and you've got to be able to kind of eliminate the white noise to figure out what's real and what's not real.

The analytics and threat intelligence are definitely a key thing. You're seeing a lot of vendors in that space especially, because you have the computing power to do something about it now, which is something that's kind of a newer thing in the IT space, especially with cloud capabilities … you've got to be able to scale quickly and digest a lot of data.
