The website does not work for me. I've tried Firefox and Chrome but the only thing that loads is the purple-ish background.

Hi There Jswny, It appears we were experiencing bandwidth issues - we were not expecting the infographic to get so much attention, The issue has now been fixed. Thank you for your comment!

"Barricade is designed so anyone regardless of technical or security experience can understand and manage their security easily."

And then in the previous paragraph "someone has been running Cross Site Scripting attacks..."

Either XSS is such common knowledge that everyone knows what it means, or else...

Security is hard. SIEMs, behavioural IDSs, packet analysers etc, have all been done before - and you need someone full time to babysit the rules and all the false positives that they throw up for any moderately complex network with new apps/devices/use cases being added all the time.

There is a lot of detail on the architecture of Barricade, but nothing on how it differs from existing SIEMS, incident response, managing rulesets, tuning false positives, etc.

I suggest you put up more detailed information besides "machine learning" to show concretely how your tech is better than the stuff that has come before.

Great. The info-graphic looks fantastic and it's quite accurate according to my own personal knowledge, I've experimented quite a bit with a lot of the tools that you mention. Great work!
