Nate Lee, CISO at Tradeshift, talks about creating cloud security capabilities, working with engineering, and how he built a GenAI security question answering bot.
About Nate:
Nate is currently CISO at Tradeshift, a B2B SaaS platform where he built the security program that has secured over $1 trillion in global business transactions. Previous to that, he led various technical teams including the company’s Platform Operations, Site Reliability Engineering and Corporate IT functions.
He got his start as an engineer doing consulting, building systems and networks before joining Target Corporation. At Target, he built and secured systems that ensure the smooth flow of goods at one of the largest retailers in the country.

Fred Bret-Mounet, CISO at Clarify Health Solutions, reminisces about negotiating a 25% salary increase and still being drastically underpaid, eating pasta every day, and learning that security can't just be focused on building Fort Knox.
About Fred:
"t all started with early e-commerce sites storing item prices client side!
A tinkerer from an early age and the constant need to feed my curiosity have been critical skills to my Information Security career.
With strong technical skills that I keep current and some amount of business acumen, I realized early that my role was not to build mini Fort Knox everywhere I went but instead teach people new skills: I am an evangelist helping organizations understand enough about the risk dimension associated to security and privacy - just as we understand financial, brand or contractual / legal dimensions in our daily activities.
I am also an enforcer! Not the one that carries a weapon - instead, I keep us honest by providing a platform for self policing.SPONSER NOTE:

Brandon Evans reunites with his former co-worker, Josh, a Senior Security Architect at Snowflake, as they discuss how to build security into DevOps organizations and how he was able to identify vulnerabilities in cloud DevOps tooling.
Our Guest - Joshua Makinen
Joshua Makinen is a security expert based out of Seattle who has been working in security design and penetration testing for 6 years. Currently, he works with Snowflake to decompose and mitigate the risks associated with Snowflake's infrastructure and public-facing offerings as a Data Cloud. During his time as a Security Consultant with NCC Group, he was exposed to a multitude of different organizations and was fascinated by the wide variety of problems they faced, technologies they used, and the approaches to cloud security they chose as a result. While much of his career accomplishments are not public, he once released a container image registry scanning tool called go-pillage-registries and also (accidentally) discovered and responsibly disclosed a couple of high-severity bug-bounty findings and CVE-2021-3583 in Ansible. Internal threats to an organization's supply chain and management interfaces for sensitive environments remains as one of Josh's favorite topics to consider in security.
