From Global Security Director to Startup Founder ft. Richard Sumnall
On this episode of ProtoPod, host Jordan Rose welcomes Richard Sumnall, Founder of RackFalcon and a veteran of global security leadership.
With 20 years of experience across Europe and North America — including senior roles at Cloudflare, Palo Alto Networks, and Uber — Richard shares deep insights into physical security, privacy-first technology, and what it really takes to protect critical infrastructure.
He also breaks down how RackFalcon solves a long-standing challenge for colocation tenants: proving who accessed sensitive hardware, when, and for how long — without relying on shared site systems.
The conversation also explores how Protocase supported RackFalcon’s journey from concept to a deployable, rack-ready solution.
Finish the episode with a fun rapid-fire segment covering books, tech, best piece of advice, and future goals.
