EP161 Cloud Compliance: A Lawyer - Turned Technologist! - Perspective on Navigating the Cloud

Guest:

• Victoria Geronimo, Cloud Security Architect, Google Cloud

Topics:

• You work with technical folks at the intersection of compliance, security, and cloud. So  what do you do, and where do you find the biggest challenges in communicating across those boundaries?

• How does cloud make compliance easier? Does it ever make compliance harder? 

• What is your best advice to organizations that approach cloud compliance as they did for the 1990s data centers and classic IT?

• What has been the most surprising compliance challenge you’ve helped teams debug in your time here? 

• You also work on standards development –can you tell us about how you got into that and what’s been surprising in that for you? 

• We often say on this show that an organization’s ability to threat model is only as good as their team’s perspectives are diverse: how has your background shaped your work here?
