Our beginnings
The Spark
After years of discussion between senior security leaders on solving the challenges CISOs face, Blue Lava originated on a napkin at Philz Coffee in Palo Alto, CA.
Co-founded by friends and security-industry colleagues —Demetrios Lazarikos (Laz), Julia Tran, Jonna Melinauskas, and Andy Hoernecke —Blue Lava reflects the culmination of a shared dream: uniting security experts to develop a revolutionary vision and platform.
“We have the ability to change the way people think about and view the security program and actually run it as a business and as a business function.”
