Bio

Rob Szumski is CEO and co-founder of EdgeBit, the security platform that secures your software supply chain by focusing on code that is actually running. EdgeBit simplifies vulnerability management as it cuts through noise that distracts engineers merging code. Rob was an early employee of CoreOS (YC S13) which popularized the immutable operating system and propelled Kubernetes/container tech into the mainstream. CoreOS was acquired by Red Hat in 2018, where Rob was a Director of Product.
