- What motivates you to attend Kodi Connect events?
The ability to connect with likeminded leaders in cybersecurity is critical as we look at collaborative ways to continue innovation in cybersecurity. Hackers collaborate to do bad things, why shouldn't cybersecurity leaders collaborate in a similar manner to progress security for good? Kodi provides the ecosystem to foster collaboration across various cybersecurity backgrounds.
- How do Kodi Connect events provide value for your time?
A Kodi event will expand your network and reach and will offer you to see what other problems exist in the cybersecurity space. For me personally, it allowed me to learn about various problems cybersecurity leaders are solving and discuss areas of intersection, for example between identity management and data management.
- What’s one major trend shaping the future of IT and cybersecurity over the next few years?
Establishing governance and auditability for trustworthy, provenanced AI. AI agents will outnumber humans and to ensure those AI agents, non-human identities are being secured, audited, and governed at the scale of their deployment will be a key cybersecurity trend and problem to solve. They say with any new platform that gets created, it creates a 20% more risk of security exposure than those before - AI agents present a much larger risk and security exposure that will need to be addressed over the next few years.
- How do you stay current in such a fast-moving industry?
Staying connected with cybersecurity leaders, in which Kodi events is an example. Additionally, nothing beats the conversations with customers and practitioners of security products as that allows for remaining in tune with the market and adjacent markets.
- How do you disconnect and recharge outside of work?
Spend time with family, play basketball, watch sports, and enjoy each conversation I have with people that I already know or people that I have just met.
