PolySwarm IT startup keeps making waves revealing its plans to create the first decentralized marketplace for threat intelligence, where security experts build anti-malware engines that compete to protect users.
PolySwarm is powered by the cybersecurity and Blockchain background of its founding and advisory team. PolySwarm’s CEO, Steve Bassi, previously founded Narf Industries, an information security R&D firm that won a grant from the Department of Homeland Security to implement Blockchain on identity management. Steve and his team also consulted for DARPA and Fortune 100 companies. Mark Tonnesen, former McAfee CIO, recently joined on the advisory team, says the PolySwarm’s website.
