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.
