Chief Security Officer
I am a co-author of Threat Modeling, a standard manual on application security.
I work to build technologies that keep malware off of your network, computer, or phone. At Fastly, I oversee our expanding security offerings through its global edge infrastructure platform. I spend a lot of time working with different teams to build security applications that will keep our users data safe.

Ask yourself, do I love this? If you don't, you should probably think of something else to do. Cybersecurity is really hard and it can sometimes be discouraging. The only time people talk about security is when it fails, so there are not a lot of kuddos in this job. You have to really love it.
