S5E7: Darwin Salazar - Data, Detections & the Cybersecurity Market

Nikki -  Can you tell us a little bit about what interested you in cloud security in the first place? I know you have a particular interest in misconfigurations - was there a singular event that spurred your interest? 

Chris - What are your thoughts around Guardrails in the cloud and using things such as event based detections?

Chris - You interestingly took a Product role, but have a Detection and CloudSec background. How has the Product role been and do you think having the practitioner background helps you be a more effective Product Manager and leader?

Nikki - There's a lot of talk around DataOps and SecOps - we're really seeing a bridging of fields and concepts to bring teams together. I wanted to talk a little bit about the human element here - do you see more of these blending of fields/disciplines?

Chris - I know you've taken a new role recently with Monad, which focuses on Security Data Lake. What made you interested in this role and why do you think we're seeing the focus on Security Data Lakes in the industry so much? 

Nikki -  What are some of the emerging trends you see in cyber attacks against cloud? What should people be most concerned with and focus on first when it comes to cloud security? 

Chris - You also lead the Cyber Pulse newsletter, which I read and strongly recommend for news and market trends. What made you start the newsletter and have you found it helps keep you sharp due to needing to stay on top of relevant topics and trends?

Nikki -  What does cyber resiliency mean to you?
