S02E01: Robert Jacobi (Blackwall, formerly BotGuard) Hosting Providers MUST PREVENT Malicious Traffic

Guest: Robert Jacobi

Robert is an open-source executive, solution seller, architect, developer, evangelist, and entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in sales and management, working with Fortune 50 companies to SMBs. Formerly leading his own web agency, he became deeply involved in open source, starting with Joomla and later contributing to WordPress at Cloudways. Now, as Chief Experience Officer at Blackwall (formerly BotGuard), he connects the company’s security solutions with partners, customers, and the broader industry.

Why did BotGuard rebrand as Blackwall, and how is the next $45M investment taking it to the next level? What cybersecurity threats must hosters prevent? How did Robert enter the industry and become well-known? Why is open source important for hosters, and why should we support it? What are Robert’s predictions for the next few years in web hosting?

My guest is Robert Jacobi, Chief Experience Officer at Blackwall, formerly BotGuard. With over 15 years in web agencies, he became deeply involved in open source, starting with Joomla and later contributing to WordPress at Cloudways. Now, he connects Blackwall’s security solutions with partners, customers, and the broader industry.
