EP201 Every CTO Should Be a CSTO (Or Else!) - Transformation Lessons from The Hoff

Guest: Chris Hoff, Chief Secure Technology Officer at Last Pass Topics: I learned that you have a really cool title that feels very “now” - Chief Secure Technology Officer? What’s the story here? Weirdly, I now feel that every CTO better be a CSTO or quit their job :-) After, ahem, not-so-recent events you had a chance to rebuild a lot of your stack, and in the process improve security. Can you share how it went, and what security capabilities are now built in? How much of a culture change did that require? Was it purely a technological transformation or you had to change what people do and how they do it? Would you recommend this to others (not the “recent events experience”, but the rebuild approach)? What benefits come from doing this before an incident occurs? Are there any? How are you handling telemetry collection and observability for security in the new stack? I am curious how this was modernized Cloud is simple, yet also complex, I think you called it “simplex.” How does this concept work?

Om Podcasten

Cloud Security Podcast by Google focuses on security in the cloud, delivering security from the cloud, and all things at the intersection of security and cloud. Of course, we will also cover what we are doing in Google Cloud to help keep our users' data safe and workloads secure. We’re going to do our best to avoid security theater, and cut to the heart of real security questions and issues. Expect us to question threat models and ask if something is done for the data subject’s benefit or just for organizational benefit. We hope you’ll join us if you’re interested in where technology overlaps with process and bumps up against organizational design. We’re hoping to attract listeners who are happy to hear conventional wisdom questioned, and who are curious about what lessons we can and can’t keep as the world moves from on-premises computing to cloud computing.
