Secureworks

Is this something you've seen AppSec teams write more? Actually, are we in a world of writing more documentation paradoxically now to make our code more secure?

Perhaps more documentation, but one example I'll give you is one of the integrations we have and which is very popular is with SecureWorks.

So it actually is very contextual training to a team based on the patterns that are observed of the kinds of vulnerabilities that are in their environment.

So it directs, I mean, and this is one way I'm describing a future state, but this is As you observe the kind of vulnerabilities that the team routinely has, how can you provide very tailored training or documentation to that team on what are good patterns, what are things that they might do in order to think about their design, So, it's not just the LLM, it is the developers themselves getting more trained on best practices in security and so that they are more aware of the kind of practices that might lead to better security posture.

And the first four of those were running corporate strategy when, you know, we were a private company, a huge amount of debt.

I think there were seven or eight legal, you know, large legal operating units, some public, some private, VMware, Pivotal, RSA Security, Documentum, SecureWorks.

There were little things, big things.

During that period, we took Pivotal Public, merged it into VMware, spun VMware back out.

I left that and joined CrowdStrike after the Series C.

Got a chance to build and run the engineering integrations team and tech partnership with SecureWorks through our IPO.

Spent a couple years out in Australia doing major account sales engineering with Palo Alto Networks before going back to school at MIT, studying natural language processing algorithms at our computer science AI lab.

And then I ran the AI detections, intelligence, and security research product teams at Arctic Wolf.

So, no, the APAC role happened because when I left CrowdStrike and joined Palo Alto Networks.

However, I was fortunate to, during the course of my time, help build and run an integrations engineering partnership and go to market partnership with SecureWorks, which is the managed threat hunting service that Dell owned at the time.

So there was this CrowdStrike and Dell partnership.

And that took me all over the world, including Australia.

But then the dot-com bust kind of hit.

They sold that book of business off to what is today SecureWorks.

And Terry decided, hey, I'm going to form my own company.

And he came to me and actually helped him come up with his name.
