CS-2019 Big Pink Elephants: Speed, Scale and the CISO

Presented at Texas Cyber Summit 2019, Oct. 10, 2019, 2:15 p.m. (60 minutes).

“Every Company has assets in the Cloud” basically making it a cloud company at some level. While providing unprecedented speed of delivery, and access to never-before scalability the era of cloud computing has put enterprise security teams once again in a reactive stance. There are a few simple truths that, once accepted, have the potential to revolutionize how enterprise security approaches innovation through cloud computing. This talk will discuss topics like asset inventory, deployment integration, standardization, compliance, and outcomes to give CISOs of cloud-curious enterprises a prescriptive path forward. We can all acknowledge there are far too many tools, not enough staff, and an overwhelming abundance of badguys – but complaining isn’t going to solve our problems. This talk addresses the pink elephants in the room and gives suggestions and strategies to drive meaningful change.
