Dr. Margaret Layton (Meg) is currently Director of Engineering for the Cyber Security Services organization of Symantec and has been working in technology for over two decades. In 2001, she joined a start-up company that was acquired by Symantec, and she has since been working in various roles within the company - both on products and working on the intelligence that fuels the front-line responders.
