Threat Landscape

CF: What do you find most disturbing or dangerous about the current threat landscape?

MK: I’m not a CISO, thank goodness, because I can’t even imagine how they sleep at night. I think for me it’s what’s next. What did the bad guys think of that we haven’t yet? How do you always stay ahead of it? When I started in this industry, it was 2000. Think about the problems we were solving then and where we were. An RSA token was the state-of-the-art, best thing ever. Think about all the things that these security practitioners have to think about and get in front of. I think that’s probably what overwhelms me the most because you have to break through the noise, and API security is the hot topic right now. It’s not the only topic, but it is the one that seems to be an easy conversation to get meetings about.
