Topics that we plan to cover at our session
Over the past 4 months, everyone has been thrust into a new way to work and collaborate. We all started from different places, worked differently, and had different priorities. These different initial states, catalyzed by the need to change very quickly, resulted in many different outcomes on the "new way to protect our org, and iterate on infosec initiatives". Let's explore some unique outcomes that came about 4 months post-COVID. What got harder, what was unexpected. But also, most interestingly, what were some pleasant surprises? How can we try to double down on the good while we continue on this COVID journey?
Rajendra Umadas, started his professional love with all things tech by getting his hands dirty as a VoIP and ISP tech in the bustling salt mines of NYC hedge funds and art galleries. After a number of years restarting routers and double-checking subnet masks, he joined the team over at The Intrepidus Group (now an NCC subsidiary) to focus on mobile and embedded system penetration testing. After a number of years consulting with this fine group of hackers, Raj joined the defensive side. He was privileged to be on the security team at Etsy and be the founding member of the security team at Squarespace. Raj put this to the test as a security architect at Canary.is. This zeal for working at fast pace companies that needed to be very creative with security controls that also did not stifle innovation continued at Spotify and WeWork.Currently Raj is part of the team over at Beyond Identity, working to rid the world of passwords.}
