Reframing cybersecurity automation and its uses | Guest Leonid Belkind

Leonid Belkind is the chief technology officer (CTO) and co-founder of Torq, a no-code security automation platform. After asking him buckets of questions about the day-to-day work of a CTO in the tech field, we get into a fascinating discussion of all the ways that automation will change the work of cybersecurity, allowing professionals at all stages to work on higher-order problems. At the same time, the great automated data sifters do high-speed data analysis beyond our cognition. This one gets pretty heady folks, especially once we compare CTOs to orchestra conductors.0:00 - Uses of automation2:50 - How Leonid got into tech5:30 - Chief technology officer and endpoint security roles8:30 - Enpoint used during work from home10:30 - Average day as a CTO at Torq17:25 - Cybersecurity market predictions19:30 - Skills and talents that make a good CTO21:27 - Zero-trust Pentagon directive24:35 - Reframing how we view automation30:06 - Automation and disabilities33:15 - Automation's big discussions39:40 - How automation can improve jobs42:20 - How to work in automation48:02 - Communication in cybersecurity50:55 - What is Torq?53:04 - Learn more about Torq and Leonid Belkind53:42 - Outro– Get your FREE cybersecurity training resources: https://www.infosecinstitute.com/free– View Cyber Work Podcast transcripts and additional episodes: https://www.infosecinstitute.com/podcastAbout InfosecInfosec’s mission is to put people at the center of cybersecurity.
