How SV “Startups” Approach Security Differently

View presentation slides.

Based on my blog post: 5 Ways Silicon Valley “Startups” Are Approaching Security Differently – Available here: http://blog.opendns.com/2014/09/26/5-ways-silicon-valley-startups-approaching-security-differently

The perimeter is dissolving. Your users are going mobile. The Cloud is descending upon us. However you say it, the IT landscape is definitely changing, and thanks to these seismic shifts, cracks in your security have developed that allow the bad guys in. So if you could start from scratch and design your IT organization again with the benefit of today’s technology, how would you do it differently? I asked that question and got answers from a few of the who’s who of the Silicon Valley “startups” that have experienced explosive growth in recent years. While it may be impossible or impractical to immediately apply these changes to your organization, understanding their approach could give you a valuable window into how your organization may be forced to change in the coming months or years if you hope to be successful securing your IT environment of the future.

Key learning points:
  • A "light touch" goes a long way
  • Federated identity management for cloud app control is key
  • Build out your incident response teams & processes with APIs
  • The device is expendable; protect the data & login credentials
