The team that serves up Paglo

Paglo was developed and is managed by a highly focused team with deep IT management and SaaS experience.

Customer feedback set the stage for the company as Paglo was founded by Brian de Haaff and Dr. Chris Waters after they led the sale of Network Chemistry's wireless security business to Aruba Networks (NASDAQ: ARUN). In addition to offering wireless security, the company built technology for enterprises to capture information about and classify all of their networked devices. Customers continually requested the ability to search that info to solve computer, network, and security challenges. So, we have our customers to thank for leading us to develop the world's first search engine for IT.
