One of the things that we didn't pay enough attention was the user experience. We said, we need to deploy this browser extension. We needed to authenticate the extension and that created kind of a pop-up that asked the users for credentials and customers told us, there's no way I'm going to deploy something and that's going to pop up for 30,000 users. You need to go back and fix this.
And then we realized that we were naive in our assumption of how we do the deployment, but that also gives us the opportunity to innovate and come up with another feature that I'm really proud of. My name is Guy Guzner, and I'm a CEO and co-founder at Savvy Security.
