Guest:

• Phil Venables (@philvenables), Vice President, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) @ Google Cloud

Topics:

• Explain the whole cloud security megatrend concept to us?
• How can we better explain that "yes, cloud is more secure than most client's data centers"?
• Can you please explain "shared fate" one more time?
• Shared fate seems to require shared incentives. Do we see the incentives to invest in security changing within organizations migrating to Cloud?
• Cloud as the Digital Immune System sounds really cool, what does it mean for a typical practitioner - security and developers both?
• What about the risk aggregation (eggs in one basket) argument against relying on CSP for all security?
• Does software sovereignty mean that Cloud providers are always going to be held to common standards and lose out on the opportunity to sell highly differentiated software on top?
