About
Christer Swartz is Director of Industry Solutions for Illumio. He has spent many years in the Networking industry, beginning with a small startup called Cisco. He joined Cisco when their global head-count was 50 people, he was an early CCIE, and remained with them for 9 years.
He has worked in the Caribbean, in Europe, and also for a small company called Netflix, when their business model was built around red envelopes and DVD's, then designed their Internet-streaming model to host movies, without breaking the Internet. He worked for many years for Palo Alto Networks, when the industry finally realized that cybersecurity was not just a good aidea but is a business enabler.
Application visibility & security needs to be fully agnostic to the network or any security appliances, enabling a fully application-centric approach to seeing who is doing what to whom everywhere, and how to enforce it. 100% of us will eventually be breached, no one is too small of a target, so a breach needs to be assumed but the goal is containing it, preventing a small problem from becoming a disaster. Christer will explain how.
