Art Poghosyan is a serial entrepreneur with over 20 years of cybersecurity experience. Art’s entrepreneurial journey started with Advancive Technology Solutions, a leading identity management consulting and systems integration firm. He led the company's exponential growth and eventual acquisition by Optiv Security in 2016. Now, as the CEO and Co-founder of Britive, he is solving the cloud's most challenging security problem: privileged access security. Prior to his foray into entrepreneurship, Art served as the Manager of Advisory Services for EY (Ernst & Young) and as a Consultant for both Protiviti and Arthur Andersen. In this episode… My company’s data is stored in the cloud, so it’s completely secure. Right? Wrong. Unfortunately, storage in the cloud isn’t enough to keep your data secure. Cloud technologies are innovating faster than security can keep up. Plus, they can’t be protected with a firewall like traditional networks either. So what can you do to protect your data? The key is identity and access management security. With these systems, users can be authorized to receive access on demand, just for the time they need it. And, their access expires automatically when the session is over. This ensures that there is no 24/7 exposure of access that attackers love to exploit. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels sit down with Art Poghosyan, the Co-founder and CEO of Britive, to discuss the power of identity and access management security. Art talks about the biggest misconceptions about cloud security, the best strategies for securing your data in the cloud, and how Britive can strengthen your company’s security systems.
