Security Breaks When Systems Are Assembled, Not Designed
Murat Balaban, Founder and CEO of Zenarmor, explains real-world system behavior, architecture design, and distributed environments of modern security.
His background in system administration comes from working with systems under pressure, where failures show up in production, not theory. That experience carries into how Balaban approaches building security platforms, with a focus on performance under load, ease of operation, and how components interact.
Most security stacks today are built as integrations rather than architectures. Multiple engines process the same traffic, decisions are fragmented, and systems behave inconsistently. Balaban focuses on inspecting traffic once.
Distributed environments introduce another layer of difficulty. Balaban believes that security works if it is easy. Otherwise, it creates friction. Watch the full interview.
