Key Quotes
*”Trust is everything. So you know what I say is, ‘Business first, trust second and cyber third.’ That's the mantra I go with. Right after business, the trust has to come in. And without business, nothing exists. But trust is literally the next element that you have to focus on.” - Rohit Parchuri
*”You can do a great deal of work very early on, with very little team and budget. But the earlier you can set the foundations, the more dividends they will pay off over time. Because the rework of trying to implement security later on, both from a cultural perspective, but also from a technological and control perspective, it just gets exponentially harder.” - Sebastien Jeanquier
*”There's this whole thing that organizations do that I call ‘security theater.’ The easiest way of actually thinking about it is like when you go to the airports and there's that whole show of trying to make people feel safe. And I think traditional security practices give that sensation that you are safe. So, I bring that concept to my teams: ‘Is this really actually taking care of what we are trying to achieve? Or is this just for checking another box and saying that we are safe?’ - Alberto Silveira
