In this episode of The Future of BizTech, host JC Granger chats with Brad Hawkins, Co-Founder and CEO of SaferNet — the company delivering next-generation VPN technology built for real-world cybersecurity, not just location spoofing.
Designed for modern businesses navigating remote work and rising cyber threats, SaferNet’s always-on VPN goes beyond encryption. With device-level filters and 24/7 protection, it creates an impenetrable digital shield that stops viruses before they reach your network — no IT team required.
Brad shares how SaferNet pivoted from router-based protection to a full-scale endpoint security platform, why most VPNs give users a false sense of safety, and how the company rebuilt itself after a crypto-incentive experiment backfired. He also unpacks how small businesses can finally access enterprise-grade cybersecurity that’s simple, scalable, and smart enough to adapt to AI-era threats.
If you're thinking about securing your remote workforce, simplifying IT, or staying ahead of quantum-age cybersecurity risks, this episode is packed with sharp insights and startup lessons you won't want to miss.
