Am I going to be agile with this tool? How fast can I deploy detection if something happens today? How many hours is it going to take me to understand if it happens again or if it's still happening? 

These are some of the questions Matt Jezorek likes to ask himself. Matt is the Vice President of Security and Platform Abuse at Dropbox,  an Information Security Executive with multinational fortune 50 experience who can think like an attacker and still speak to the business. 

Topics discussed in this episode:

  • The value of agility in detection at scale
