Welcome to the Elephant in AppSec, the podcast to explore, challenge, and boldly face the AppSec Elephants in the room. Today, I’m thrilled to welcome Michael Tayo to the show! As the Information Security Lead at EDX Markets, Michael advises C-suite leaders and drives strategies to protect critical infrastructure in institutional crypto markets. With prior roles in Financial Services and Tempus AI, Michael brings a wealth of experience in cloud security and risk management. He’s also the founder of CyberSHIELD, a platform empowering security professionals with training and resources, and The Ghetto Flower, a creative agency uplifting underrepresented talent. In this episode, Michael and I explore differences in security testing for on-premise and cloud environments, the importance of asset visibility and risk assessment for hybrid cloud migration, and how DevSecOps practices thrive with leadership buy-in and team collaboration. Plus, we discuss how to use security data to tell compelling stories and provide meaningful insights to stakeholders.
