Scale to Zero - No Security Questions Left Unanswered
Scale To Zero
We know security is challenging, but a timely understanding of security is far more challenging! Scale to Zero is built for all the security professionals for helping them to be more privacy and security-sensitive. With this show, we hope to address all the security-related issues that are challenging to understand and resolve without the help of experts. We believed that a community space like Scale to Zero would make things a little bit simpler for everyone after we discovered the discomfort of constantly switching back and forth.

Big Mistakes in Security with Mel Reyes | Episode 10
It's Scale to Zero's tenth episode, and we've got Mel Reyes with us today. There are lots of nuggets of information about security in this episode, so you won't want to miss it! Here's what we asked Mel in this episode of Scale to Zero:
1. What are the challenges that you have faced while working across organizations to set up the security programs and how did you overcome them and do you have any advice? I know that there are many sub questions in It, but I'm curious challenges how did you overcome it and what advice do you have for future other leaders?
2. How should they think about setting up the security all and who should they hire first, keeping in mind that vision and the culture plays a major role?
3. Security should that be a top down approach or should it be like a bottom up, like somebody from engineering or the individual contributors bringing it up and then sort of implementing it across the organization?
4. What is the right time to invest to sort of improve the overall security posture versus getting a security certification?
5.What are the top three things that you think organizations are still getting wrong and they know it? Maybe they are not able to fix it or they think that they won't get caught and they can get away with it. What are those things according to you?
