Pike founded Cyemptive in 2014, with the vision of ushering in a new era of cybersecurity. Working in stealth mode, the company focused on developing a revolutionary approach to solving cyber threats, using a pre-emptive strategy to remove hackers and threats in real time. The resulting technology was so impressive that the Department of Homeland Security named it the most innovative border security related solution on the market in its first-ever national competition.
