As organizations increasingly shift operations to the cloud, security leaders are faced with a choice: champion the effort, react to the changes, or get left behind.

The first in the Leading Security Change series (learn about the series here), our panel of experts explores the realities of leading the transition to cloud-based series across three key aspects:

Requirements and selection
Protection, based on the selection
Operation in partnership

Introducing the panel of security leaders

Each of the leaders selected for this panel bring a depth of experience and unique perspective.

Joan Pepin is a CISO and VP of Security for a cloud-based company. That means she both consumes cloud service from others and addresses the concerns of customers.
Lori MacVittie is consistently recognized as a thought leader in the cloud space and one of the first people I turn to when I have a cloud question.
Scott Wilson finds himself in the enviable position of getting hired specifically to guide an established company to the benefits of the cloud, securely.
