Operating Across the Entire Internet, with Matt Kraning, CTO and Co-founder of Expanse

Matt Kraning has always been interested in understanding powerful systems that unified many ideas and then figuring out a way to have those systems grounded in the real world in ways that would actually deliver value for people. As the CTO and co-founder of Expanse, that’s exactly what he is doing today. Expanse is helping to solve huge security and operations problems and build a system of record to track all your IT across the internet. If it sounds complicated that’s because it is, but it’s also important work, and Matt was happy to share what it all means on this episode. 

Key Takeaways:

• By creating a management platform that can find and control all the IT across the internet, Expanse has created a system of record for all customer IT
• Maintaining secure networks and proper control of all of your IT is a massive problem that, until recently, most companies could not fully comprehend
• Having a governance strategy isn’t enough. You need a full operational strategy
