In this week’s podcast, John talks with Kristian Gausel, Security engineer at Humio. Kristian introduces himself and shares why security is such an important focus for Humio. 

Kristian describes why organizations are more concerned with security, and what is being done about it. We discuss why having a powerful log management system with robust retention helps prepare for the unknown, and makes it easier to get to the bottom of what happened and reduce the time to recovery.

We talk about how GDPR shifts the responsibility for privacy and security from the individual to the company storing personal information, and how logs can help with compliance. We also talk about security considerations for those moving to the cloud, and how to better prepare.
